NGS-Screened Tissue Blocks & Sets

Say goodbye to guesswork about which tissue samples carry the biomarkers you need. Now, you can source biomarker-screened, fully characterized FFPE blocks and sets so you know exactly which genomic alterations are present before you even get them into your lab (and before you dive into your testing).

We’re here to make your experience with sourcing DNA/RNA sequenced FFPE tissue and blood products hassle-free, with help from a dedicated, expert customer support team.

The result? Decreased validation timelines, increased clinical insight and fewer surprises along the way

Our genomically profiled specimens, at a glance

Our NGS-screened FFPE blocks and matched sets span all major cancer types and commonly used normal control tissues — so you can start with clarity, not assumptions.

Each specimen is carefully profiled to capture a wide range of clinically relevant genomic alterations. This includes everything from single nucleotide variants and small insertions/deletions to more complex features such as microsatellite instability (MSI), tumor mutational burden (TMB), copy number variations (CNVs), gene rearrangements, and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). With this level of detail, you can clearly understand the molecular characteristics of each sample before starting your work.

All sequencing is carried out in certified laboratories using validated protocols. This ensures high-quality data, consistent variant detection, and results that align with real-world clinical and diagnostic expectations.

We provide both tumor-only specimens and matched tumor–normal pairs, along with pre-verified normal control tissues. These options support assay development, validation, and comparative studies with improved reliability and fewer variables.

Each sample comes with a structured clinical report summarizing key findings. In addition, raw sequencing files—such as FASTQ, BAM, and VCF—are available, giving you full access to review, validate, and analyze the data independently.

Our biospecimens are available in multiple formats, including FFPE tissues, fresh frozen samples, plasma, and matched multi-sample sets. This flexibility allows you to choose the right type of material for your specific research goals.

We believe in complete transparency—no unexpected fees or unclear deliverables. What you see is exactly what you get.

When working with us, you benefit from:

  • Consistently high-quality, validated samples

  • Clear, accessible data with no “black box” limitations

  • Fast and dependable turnaround times to keep your research on track

Don’t need of all of the genomic data? We have unscreened specimens too!

We make it simply and easy to get the variant-specific samples you need

We know that your time is precious, and we also know that your experiment can not be on hold for week or months (or dare we say it, ‘years!’) for specimens. That is why we do all the prep work for you, so we always have ready-to-ship, fit-for-purpose specimens ready to ship to your lab within days – less waiting, more science.

What you can expect with our NGS-screened tissue blocks & sets

You’re a request away from getting access to biomarker-screened, characterized specimens with all the data you could need. Data is provided in an XLSX format with other formats and PDF genomic reports available upon request.

These samples can include:

Common pathogenic or presumed pathogenic variants (e.g., p53, APC)

Variants prevalent in 20-50% of cancers (e.g., EGFR, KRAS, PIK3CA)

Highly mutated and rare variants and fusions (e.g., MSI high, TMB high, ALK fusion)

When it comes to our data, our sequencing panels vary, but our most common ones include Illumina’s TruSight 500 Comprehensive DNA and RNA panel, Burning Rock’s OncoScreen Plus, and various Archer targeted sequencing panels.

General Questions

Frequent Asked Questions!!

iBiospecimen leads in specimen procurement, linking clients to a worldwide provider network. Our ibiospecimen Marketplace allows researchers to acquire needed specimens with speed, efficiency, and compliance. Curious about ibiospecimen and what we offer? Find answers to common questions below.

FFPE samples often suffer from degradation 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.

Yes, maintain appropriate temperature conditions during shipping. Consider using temperature-controlled packaging or dry ice if needed to preserve sample integrity.

Minimize the risk of contamination by using proper packaging materials and ensuring containers are securely sealed. Additionally, avoid shipping with hazardous or potentially interfering substances.

ibiospecimen collaborates with a global network of countries, providing access to a diverse range of specimen blocks for researchers.
