A human biomaterial bank for all your needs

Accelerating breakthroughs in genetics, drug discovery, biomarker research, and molecular diagnostics

BioServe's Global BioRepository is one of the largest commercial human tissue banks in the world.  With more than 600,000 human tissue, serum, DNA, and RNA samples, from over 120,000 patients on four continents, academic and industry researchers have access to a diverse range of biomaterials in various disease states to meet their research needs.

Our human samples are handled consistently according to validated protocols used at all of our sites. Each human tissue sample is snap frozen to preserve mRNA and protein and is matched with unaffected human tissue, as well as DNA and sera from the donor in most cases. RNA is subjected to rigorous quality control (QC) to monitor degradation. Each human tissue sample is accompanied with:

  • Detailed demographic information, including family history for three generations
  • Gold standard clinical diagnostic information
  • Complete drug history, including adverse events
  • Full pathology report, including H& E slides
  • Complete phenotypic data.

Access to additional samples, as well as longitudinal data, are also available in many cases.

How to browse our Global BioRepository inventory:

Customers may browse our BioRepository inventory by Sample Type or Disease Type.

Begin browsing by sample type - DNA, RNA, serum, frozen tissue, or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks.  Or, start by disease type to determine the type and quantity of samples housed within our repository.

 

Preclinical Molecular Services

To complement our Global BioRepository, we offer a full suite of accurate and cost-effective preclinical molecular services.  We have 20 years of experience with validated laboratory protocols to ensure accurate results with timely turnaround times.

Many of our customers choose to simply keep their human samples “in-house” to have our laboratory staff perform the necessary technical work for their research needs.

If your particular need is listed on the Preclinical Molecular Services page, please contact us. We can work together to meet your study needs.
