Small tissue samples, more research possibilities
Single-slide proteomics, spatial profiling, and intact-cell recovery: what the September Brief means for a research request.
Collection readiness
Preparing a collection for a research partnership
A starting inventory helps an institution discuss research fit, permissions, and operational responsibilities without committing to a release.
Procurement
What to include in a biospecimen request
Specify FFPE blocks, unstained slides, matched tumor/normal pairs, clinical data, and consent or IRB documentation in your biospecimen request.
