Collection, Processing, and Distribution of Tissue Samples
The CTSI Biorepository operates in conjunction with the UF CRC Processing Laboratory and the Molecular Pathology & Immunology Core to collect, process, distribute and provide histology and immunopathology services on remnant and prospective tissue samples. These samples are collected from patients who have consented to participate in one of our IRB approved research programs. The CTSI Biorepository also oversees the release of tissue from the Department of Pathology for other IRB approved research protocols.
The Biorepository offers the following services:
- Tissue procurement, processing (UF CRU Processing Lab) and distribution
- Prospective tissue collection to meet protocol requirements
- RNA, DNA and protein extraction and quality control (UF CRC Processing Lab)
- Pathology Services including those provided by the Molecular Pathology &
Immunology Core and confirmation of diagnosis by a Board Certified Pathologist - Storage and retrieval of investigator samples
