The UCL/UCLH Biobank for Studying Health and Disease has been primarily established to support the Research Programme and scientific needs, of the Pathology Department UCLH & the UCL Cancer Institute. The establishment of the core programme enables a centralised approach to the management and integration of all research groups working within these institutions, providing appropriate structure and support. The biobank has policies and guidelines to guarantee compliance with HTA legislation and to ensure quality standards will be maintained. The biobank stores normal and pathological specimens, surplus to diagnostic requirements, from relevant tissues and bodily fluids, as well as human tissue used in xenograft experiments. Stored tissues include; snap-frozen or cryopreserved tissue, formalin-fixed tissue, paraffin-embedded tissues, and slides prepared for histological examination. Tissues include resection specimens obtained surgically or by needle core biopsy. Bodily fluids include; whole blood, serum, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, milk, saliva and buccal smears and cytological specimens such as sputum and cervical smears. Fine needle aspirates obtained from tissues and bodily cavities (eg. pleura and peritoneum) are also collected. Where appropriate the biobank also stores separated cells, protein, DNA and RNA isolated from collected tissues and bodily fluids described above. Some of the tissue and aspirated samples are stored in the diagnostic archive.

The Institutional Tissue Bank (ITB) of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center was established in 2006 with the goal of serving as a central repository for human tissue samples for cancer research and possible personalized medicine for the institution. The Institutional Research Board oversees the fulfilling of informed consent of each patient whose samples are collected. The ITB''s collection procedures meet the global quality standards and provide high quality tissue samples. The quality control for morphology, RNA, DNA and protein has been set up to ensure the sample quality. Routine frozen section from tissue aliquot is made for every piece of sample to ensure the component of tumor tissue and the pathological feature is the same as the diagnosed tumor. Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer was used to provide RNA and DNA quality parameters. The Tissue Bank occupies 500 m2, with sufficient space for sample preparation and storage, data registration, data tracking/access, related equipments and monitor system. Variant samples including blood, tumor tissue, and body fluids are collected and serve as alternative permanent patient tissue records. Annotation of collected samples is captured through linking the medical record and pathological report system to tissue bank software. Frequent tumor types such as lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, urological tumors, gynecological tumors and esophageal cancers, head & neck cancers, as well as infrequent cancer types such as malignant soft tissue sarcomas, pancreatic cancer, gall bladder cancer, and other rare cancers are all collected and stored. Tumor tissues are stored with matched normal tissues. Serum and plasma are isolated from coagulation plus and coagulation minus blood samples. White blood cells are stored as well. Tissues are stored both in RNALater at -20 degrees C and -80 degrees C after snap frozen. Samples have been increased from 4,000 in 2008 to 10,783 in 2009. To the end of September 2010, over 30,000 samples has been processed and stored in our tissue bank. As planned, 50,000 samples will be stored dynamically. Over 50 funded projects have used the samples from our tissue bank. Productive papers have been published in the past years by using the samples. More and more projects will be approved to get research resources from tissue bank in the future. The tissue bank of FUSCC has been designated as the key subject and successful model by Shanghai municipal government.

Fox Chase has developed a facility dedicated to the collection and distribution of human subject biosamples and supporting personal and family cancer history data. In response to announcement (CA-00-025; P30 CA06927S2), the Fox Chase Cancer Center''s Biosample Repository (BR) and Tumor Bank Facility (TBF) is making blood specimens (i.e., whole blood, plasma, platelet-rich plasma, platelet homogenates, red blood cells, leukocytes, lymphoblastoid cell lines, and DNA isolated from leukocytes) and tumor tissues (i.e., multi-tissue microarrays and tumor DNAs) collected by our facilities available for research. Request for blood and tissue will be reviewed by a panel of scientists and ranked. Priority will be given to those investigators with current NIGH/NCI funding, but will be made available as recommended by the internal and external advisory committees. * Blood Inventory: Plasma, Serum, Whole Blood, Lymphocytes, DNA * Tissue Inventory: Tumor and Normal Adjacent Tissue, Fresh-Frozen, Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Tissue, OCT Embedded Tissue, Ethanol-fixed Tissue

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023. The Case Comprehensive Cancer Center''s Biorepository and Tissue Processing Core Facility (BTPC) serves two primary functions: 1. To build an inventory of remnant human tissues, blood and other body fluids (collectively termed biospecimens) targeted towards cancer and other medical research, for later assignment to investigators; and 2. To provide long term, controlled storage of biospecimens for specific researchers. These samples are for research purposes only and may not be used for clinical diagnosis or implantation into humans. Clinical information relating to the samples and donors are collected and maintained in a secure database. Samples and data are de-identified or de-linked before release to the researcher unless he/she has specific IRB approval to gain access to this information. Remnant biospecimens are prospectively collected from surgical procedures, autopsies and clinical laboratories for the BTPC by the Human Tissue Procurement Facility (HTPF), which operates under UH-IRB Protocol 01-02-45. Blood and bone marrow specimens are collected for the BTPC by the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Core Facility (HSCC), which operates under UH-IRB Protocol 09-90-195. The Division of Surgical Pathology at University Hospitals Case Medical Center (UHCMC) has clinical archives of paraffin blocks that can be made available through the BTPC for retrospective research studies under the approval of the Vice Chair for Clinical Affairs at UHCMC. Surgical Pathologists associated with the BTPC are responsible for determining which blocks can be made available and how much material can be removed from the blocks. Types of Tissue Available * Malignant, benign, diseased, normal and normal human tissues * Normal adjacent tissues available paired with tumor specimens in many cases * Tissues are collected from over 50 anatomic sites * Frozen specimens, OCT-embedded and paraffin-embedded tissues * Large array of paraffin-embedded specimens from clinical archives of paraffin blocks and QC research blocks maintained by the HTPF * Peripheral blood and bone marrow samples from initial visits and follow-up procedures are processed to obtain serum and cell fractions for storage * No samples are collected from individuals with known infectious illnesses * Fetal biospecimens are not collected due to state and local statutes

A biobank of repositories which works to obtain, store, manage and distribute large collections of human biological samples of phenotypes and diseases of marked interest for researchers. The biobank sample collection is made up of three extensive repositories. The Neurological Tissue Biobank is a nervous tissue repository (brain and spinal cord) created from donations from cadavers with or without neurological conditions. It helps facilitate research in neurological illnesses. The Tumour Biobank and Anatomical Pathologies Collections is a repository of tumorous tissue and samples from cancer patients. The Blood and Fluid Biobank is a repository which contains samples of metabolic, inflammatory bowel, hepatic, digestive and maternal and foetal diseases, among others. It houses a large range of samples of scientific interest, primarily DNA, serum and plasma.
