Clinical biobank tissue samples
Clinical biosample data
Our clinical samples are highly annotated.
The data available depends on the partner collection site, ranging from demographics, current treatment and a redacted path report to more in-depth clinical data.
Data available may include:
The data available depends on the partner collection site, ranging from demographics, current treatment and a redacted path report to more in-depth clinical data.
Data available may include:
- Demographic information
- Certain lifestyle details
- General and disease-specific data
including treatment details, clinical histories plus follow-up treatment data over the lifetime of the patient - Comorbidity data
On receipt of an order, our partner site’s staff will ensure that the time-consuming processes of extracting and screening through these patient data to search for suitable tissue samples and/or blood samples are carried out so that you can receive the most suitable high quality annotated human tissue cancer samples.

Please e-mail us on info@biobankonline.com to see examples of typical cancer tissue or blood sample donor pathology report from our cancer tissue bank partner sites, illustrating the kind of clinical, histopathological and marker data we can make available and the range and volumes of frozen cancer tissue samples, FFPE cancer tissue samples, cancer blood samples (cancer serum samples, cancer plasma samples and cancer buffy coat samples) already banked at our clinical partners’ biobanks.
Biomarker data/ information regarding particular mutations or alleles is available where these form an increasingly standard part of clinical care; please inquire about availability at our clinical centers’ biobanks (info@biobankonline.com).

Post mortem tissue samples or organs
Post mortem cancer sample availability
If you require;
- large tissue samples / pieces or whole organs
- normal biosamples that are not compatible with normal-adjacent or inflammatory conditions
- tumor tissue samples that are too inaccessible, or too advanced for surgery
Consider our post mortem prospective human tissue collection service.
Our skilled body donation partners may also have more ready access to fresh tumor specimens than our clinical sites, due to the larger size and number of cancer samples available from each donor.
Tumors specimens are available in larger quantities per patient, as biosamples do not need to be retained for diagnosis and the cancer is at an advanced stage.
Metastases will often be available from a range of metastatic sites.
Furthermore, your cancer research may benefit from receiving tumor samples in situ in the organ or tissue environment in which it developed, and access to this sort of cancer sample can usually only be achieved by studying donors who have donated their bodies for research and education.

Post mortem cancer sample formats
- Fresh in the buffer or medium of your choice
- normal biosamples that are not compatible with normal-adjacent or inflammatory conditions
- Fixed in 10% NBF (neutral buffered formalin)
Fresh whole blood samples can also be collected in the tubes of your choice.
