Human Biospecimen

These are biological samples or specimens derived from diagnostic, therapeutic, or surgical procedures on patients. They encompass a wide range of materials, including whole organs, organ fragments, cells, tissues, sub-cellular structures, and cell products. Examples include blood and blood products (even if positive for eHBsAG/HCV/HIV/Syphilis or expired), urine, saliva, DNA/RNA, hair, nail clippings, and various body fluids such as ascitic fluid, pleural fluid, and cord blood.
The origins of these specimens can vary widely, sourced from patients, autopsy specimens, abandoned medical wastes, tissue banks, IVF clinics, organ donation centers, and other medical facilities. These diverse sources ensure comprehensive availability for various medical and scientific research needs, advancing diagnostics and therapeutic innovations.

Biofluids

Whether you need biofluids that have been tested for specific analytes or come from patients with specific medical conditions—or no medical conditions. Biofluids are available fresh or frozen, with or without additives.

Tissue Samples

Source fresh, frozen, or banked tissue from a diverse population of diseased and healthy patients. Access tissue that has been richly annotated with molecular and genetic characterizations, pathology reports, outcomes data, and patient characteristics.

Matched Sets

Conduct comparison analysis across multiple specimen formats with matched human tissue and biofluid sets. Our matched sample sets can go beyond pairs to include quad sets to make your comparisons more meaningful and propel your development of liquid biopsies, diagnostics, and therapeutics forward.

Finding Right Biospecimens for Your Research

Sourcing biospecimens to support medical research can be challenging and time-consuming. The SSC changes the paradigm, offering single-source access to millions of human biospecimens and patients across a diverse network of providers—quickly and compliantly. Find diseased and healthy specimens in various formats.
