Bioinventory
Bioinventory
While most of the biospecimens NDRI can provide come from prospective recoveries based on researcher-specified criteria, we do maintain a few small bioinventories.
These biorepositories focus on rarer disease specimens that are more challenging to procure prospectively. Our Logistics facility is accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) as a biorepository. We maintain compliance with biomaterials handling regulations for storing and shipping samples to approved researchers.
If you are interested in tissues that fall under the categories listed below, please inquire about that inventory when you submit a Feasibility Application via our Request Tissue page.
