Why trust us to provide fresh tissues, blood and bone marrow aspirate for your research?

Advancing biomedical discovery starts with access to high‑quality human tissue biosamples, and our fresh human tissue sample service is built to deliver exactly that. We provide ethically sourced, rapidly procured fresh tissues from surgical resections, non-transplantable donors and whole body donors across a wide range of indications, including oncology (cancer/tumor tissues, including both solid tumors and blood-borne/hematological malignancies) and benign conditions such as IBD, as well as controls. Matching blood may also be collected.  

Every specimen is collected ethically with clinical information, pathology data and/or medical-social history data as appropriate, and shipped overnight or via next flight out courier from our extensive US-based network of collection sites to preserve viability and integrity.  Each human biosample collection is tailored to your precise research needs and goals, and we offer intensive expert support in terms of developing collection protocols and managing your ongoing collection.  

Biospecimens are provided with informed consent and, where applicable, IRB approval already in place. With reliable turn around times, transparent sourcing, and acommitment to scientific excellence, we make it easier for researchers to obtain the fresh human tissue you need to drive meaningful breakthroughs.

Transparency and quality

Accio Biobank Online is transparent about the dedicated sites we work with and encourage researchers to join us in direct, in depth technical discussions with the tissue recovery and research managers at our partner hospital biobanks and body donation centers.

This ensures that all aspects of your project, including the optimum tissue preparation protocol, are fully understood and agreed in advance, maximizing the quality and utility of the specimens provided for your experiments.

Location and Collection

Our partner post mortem donation facility and clinical biorepositories are located in the US for your convenience and reassurance.

This makes it possible to provide customized collections of a wide range of fresh human tissues and biofluid samples, collected prospectively and prepared according to your bespoke protocol and requirements.

Shipping

Fresh human organs, tissues or biofluids can be transported:
  • in your preferred stabilising buffer or nutrient medium to preserve any viable human tissues or cells,
  • on ice or at ambient temperature,
  • in a specialized transport fluid, such as those used for transporting organs for transplant or those developed specifically for shipping fresh tissues for research at ambient temperature for long periods.

Post Mortem Tissues and Organs

Accio Biobank Online is delighted to announce that to further expand the range of fresh organ and tissue research we can support, we have partnered with a highly experienced organ procurement network. This means that we can facilitate your access to non-transplantable organs and tissues kindly donated by organ donors.

Post mortem tissues and organs are not limited in terms of location or quantity available, severity of disease or by the need to retain samples for diagnosis, and whole organs and tissues that are not available through surgery, such as brain and spine, are available.

Donors’ medical questionnaires can be screened for comorbidities and medications.

The minimum time from donor death to sample collection is normally 3 hours, but such donors are rare so longer post mortem intervals, of 12 or more hours, will significantly increase rates of availability.

Surgical Samples

Availability of surgical/clinical samples depends on the types of surgery typically carried out for an indication; the surgical protocol and the amount of material that must be retained for diagnostic purposes as well as your own criteria.

Samples can be shipped in your preferred nutrient medium to maintain viable human tissues.

Placentas, cord blood and maternal bloods are also available.
