Where do the tissues come from?
“All of the tissues in our Tissue bank come from hospitals and clinics in the U.S. However, we do have international clinic partners that can be access when necessary.”
“Creative Bioarray, a leading supplier of primary cells, tumor cell lines, stem cells, immortalized cell lines and probes, also specialized in cell-based assays & services, histology services to accelerate biotechnology research.”

“After surgery, tissue samples are put into formalin and brought to the pathology department of our collaborating hospitals. This process occurs less than 10 minutes after surgery and before the fixation.”
“For post mortem tissues, the typical time in formalin fixative depends on the duration of procedures performed after death, including the acquisition of consent from the family. Nevertheless, the post mortem interval is less than six hours.”
“Age, Sex, Race, Histological diagnosis, Differentiation grade, TNM, Stage, Tumor size, Date of surgery, etc.”
“We have tested that the antigenicity was not lost (no significant difference in statistics) with paraffin tissue sections kept in a refrigerator (4°C) dated 4 years ago.”
“Standard sample size is 0.511 cm.”
“Standard sample size is 0.5-1 gram. Tissue samples of 2-3 gram are available upon request.”
“Expanding, passaging, or re-freezing hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes are not recommended.”
