Frozen Sample Types Available
We offer a broad range of frozen human tissue specimens, including:
- Frozen tumor tissue from most solid tumor types
- Frozen diseased tissue (e.g., IBD, diverticulitis, inflammatory conditions)
- Frozen normal adjacent tissue
- Snap‑frozen or flash‑frozen samples
- Viably frozen tumor and normal-adjacent tissues from surgical donors, suitable for cell/tissue culture
- Frozen plasma and serum
- Matched frozen + FFPE + fresh tissue sets
- Matched frozen tissue + blood samples (whole blood, plasma, serum, buffy coat)
All frozen samples are processed under validated SOPs to ensure consistency and reproducibility.

Oncology Frozen Tissue
We supply frozen tumor tissue from a wide range of cancer types, including:
- Breast
- Lung (NSCLC, SCLC)
- Colorectal
- Pancreatic
- Ovarian
- Prostate
- Renal
- Melanoma
- Head and neck cancers
- Sarcomas
Where available, frozen samples may include:
- Pathology reports
- Diagnosis and staging
- Treatment history
- Matched FFPE blocks
- Matched fresh tissue
- Matched blood samples
These specimens support applications such as mutation profiling, RNA‑seq, proteomics, biomarker discovery and multi‑omic integration.
Non‑Oncology Frozen Tissue
In addition to oncology samples, we can provide frozen tissue in inventory from donors with IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease, ie Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis), as well as aliquots of frozen tissues from organ donors (non-transplantable organs).
Matched blood samples or FFPE blocks may also be available depending on the donor and collection site.
Frozen organs, tissues and other biosample types such as CSF and serum can be collected via our partner body donation site.
Matched Frozen, FFPE and Fresh Tissue Sets
For studies requiring multi‑modality analysis, we offer:
- Frozen tumor + matched FFPE block
- Frozen tumor + matched fresh tissue (when prospectively collected)
- Frozen tumor + matched blood (whole blood, plasma, serum, buffy coat)
- Frozen diseased tissue + matched fresh blood for IBD and diverticulitis
Matched sets are ideal for:
- Genomic and transcriptomic profiling
- Proteomics and phosphoproteomics
- Spatial biology and imaging (paired with FFPE)
- ctDNA and liquid biopsy correlation
- Biomarker discovery and validation
- Companion diagnostic development
Ethical and Compliant Sourcing
All frozen samples are obtained under:
- IRB‑approved protocols
- Informed consent, or
- IRB‑approved waiver of consent for diagnostic remnants
Clinical Annotation
Where available, frozen samples may include:
- Pathology reports
- Diagnosis and staging
- Tumor grade
- Treatment history
- Demographics
- Follow‑up information
Annotation varies by site and by fee.
Applications
Our frozen tissue samples support a wide range of research areas:
- Oncology and immuno‑oncology
- Biomarker discovery and validation
- Genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics
- RNA‑seq and DNA‑seq
- Multi‑omic integration with matched FFPE or fresh tissue
- Drug development and mechanism‑of‑action studies
- Assay development and verification
- Spatial biology (paired with FFPE)
