How iBiospecimen Works
iBioSpecimen operates as a virtual biobank, meaning we connect researchers to a broad network of biospecimen providers rather than relying only on one physical inventory location.
This model allows us to source highly specific samples based on disease indication, tissue type, diagnosis, tumor percentage, necrosis percentage, stage, treatment history, block age, and clinical data requirements.
Our process includes:
Biospecimen request review
Donor and sample matching
FFPE block and tissue block identification
Clinical data availability check
Pathology review and quality control
H&E slide review, where requiredIRB and compliance documentation support
Logistics and sample shipment coordination
This streamlined approach helps researchers save time, reduce administrative burden, and improve access to relevant biospecimens.

radation and alterations during the fixation process, affecting the quality of extracted biomolecules. The cross-linking caused by formalin can hinder nucleic acid extraction and affect the performance of some assays. Specialized protocols and equipment may be required to overcome these challenges and obtain reliable data from FFPE tissue samples.
Place the FFPE tissue blocks securely in leak-proof containers or vials, ensuring proper labeling. Use absorbent material (e.g., absorbent pads) to manage potential spills.
