University of Minnesota Tissue Procurement Facility (RRID:SCR_004270) | TPF | biomaterial supply resource, tissue bank, material resource | Procure and distribute human tissue and other biological samples in support of basic, translational, and clinical cancer research at the University of Minnesota. The TPF is a centralized resource with standardized patient consent, sample collection, processing, storage, quality control, distribution, and electronic record maintenance. Since the 1996 inception of the TPF, over 61,000 tissue samples including well-preserved samples of malignant and benign tumors, organ-matched normal tissue, and other types of diseased tissues, have been collected from surgical specimens obtained at the University of Minnesota Medical Center-Fairview (UMMC-F) University Campus. Surgical pathologists are intellectually engaged in TPF functions, providing researchers with specimen-oriented medical consultation to facilitate research productivity. Prior to surgery, TPF personnel identify and consent patients for procurement of tissue, blood, urine, saliva, and ascites fluid. Within the integrated working environment of the surgical pathology laboratory, freshly obtained tissues not needed for diagnosis are selected and provided by pathologists to TPF personnel. Tissue samples are then assigned an independent code and processed. TPF staff can also work with researchers to individualize the procurement of tissues to fit specific research needs. | human, tissue, biological sample, basic research, translational research, clinical research, cancer research, cancer, malignant tumor, benign tumor, organ-matched normal tissue, normal tissue, diseased tissue, blood, urine, saliva, ascites fluid |

UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center Tissue Procurement Shared Facility (RRID:SCR_004222) | TPSF | biomaterial supply resource, tissue bank, material resource | The Tissue Procurement Shared Facility (TPSF) of the Comprehensive Cancer Center operates as a prospective service to collect, from UAB associated hospitals, normal, malignant, benign, and diseased fresh human tissues and fluids which are then preserved appropriate to protocol. The TPSF can provide normal, malignant, benign, or diseased remnant human tissues and/or fluids from surgical resections, autopsies, or clinical procedures for IRB-approved researchers. The preservation can include fresh storage in media or saline, snap-frozen storage in liquid nitrogen, freezing in OCT for frozen section preparation, or preservation in a fixative of choice. The TPSF can also provide procurement of control tissues including uninvolved tissues or matched tissues from patients with benign disease processes. The histology laboratory can provide paraffin blocks and/or stained or unstained slides. In addition, investigators can obtain access to rare tissues through the national Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN). Although the facility operates as a prospective service specializing in the preparation of samples to protocol, limited banked frozen and paraffin-embedded samples may be available. Investigators are required to complete an application and provide a copy of their IRB approval as well as a brief description of the project for which the requested samples will be utilized. Samples are provided for research purposes only. Processing fees are to offset processing costs and should be included in all grant applications. | tissue, tissue procurement, shared facility, comprehensive cancer center |

DCI Tissue and Blood Procurement Shared Resource (RRID:SCR_004116) | DCI Tissue Bank | biomaterial supply resource, tissue bank, material resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. Over 10,000 patient consents, 5,000 banking events, and 40,000 biospecimens have been processed to date with storage of both formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue and frozen tissue located within multiple freezers spanning temperatures in the range of -80 degrees to -180 degrees C depending on protocol requirements. Considerable effort continues to be expended to assure compliance with IRB, NIH and HIPAA best practices and guidelines on banking human tissues. The biorepository in place today is the result of the combined efforts of the Duke Cancer Institute (DCI) Breast SPORE, DCI Shared Resource for Tissue and Blood Procurement, and the Duke University School of Medicine Research Foundation (DUSOM-RF). The DCI and the School of Medicine Research Foundation (SOMRF) have funded the collection of frozen and fixed tissues, both malignant and benign, under an ?????????????????excess tissue????????????????? protocol that utilizes freshly excised tissue that is available for research after the needs of the pathologic workup are met. This program procures tissues from many anatomic sites including breast. Recently Duke''s Institute of Genome Science & Policy (IGSP), under the direction of Drs. Geoff Ginsburg and Tom Burke, initiated a blood collection program that spans several departments and institutes. The Breast SPORE blood collection program served as the pilot for this much larger effort. The Breast SPORE tissue and blood collection effort utilizes much of the same infrastructure and personnel that are also supported by the DCI, SOMRF, and IGSP. | blood, tissue, cancer, biospecimen, formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue, frozen tissue, malignant, benign, breast tissue, breast cancer, tumor, frozen, paraffin, malignant tissue, benign tissue |

A pilot effort that has developed a centralized, web-based biospecimen locator that presents biospecimens collected and stored at participating Arizona hospitals and biospecimen banks, which are available for acquisition and use by researchers. Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute''s (NCI''s) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester''s questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone., documented on August 17, 2021.Biospecimens and support services to advance translational research including a wide range of specimen types, including matched sets of normal and diseased tissue, Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE), blood, and serum, focusing primarily on cancer. They stock a wide range of sample formats to help meet research goals quickly and on budget. Collections are preformed to be ideal for a wide range of studies including genomic, proteomic, molecular and histologic analysis. ILSbio provides tissue and tissue derivatives that are high quality, cost effective and procured in compliance with current and anticipated regulations. The company obtains its clinical specimens under strict IRB approved protocols with informed consent and the utmost attention to issues of patient safety, anonymity and confidentiality.
