Standard operating procedure for the collection of fresh frozen tissue samples

Analysis of Pluripotent Cell in Post-circumcised Preputial Skin using Cold Transport Methods (Ice and Dry Ice) with Oct-4 Expression

“…While dry ice can replace the liquid nitrogen in lowering the temperature of the isopentane, a freezing medium. Before the tissue sample is put inside the isopentane for freezing, the isopentane is cooled beforehand by suspending the isopentane vessel on liquid nitrogen or dry ice [24]. Even though dry ice and ice can provide cold temperature and take part in the biobank protocol, more researches are needed especially in comparing ice, dry ice, and liquid nitrogen effect to the tissue, especially to the pluripotent cells in stem cell banking.…”

The CIBERES Pulmonary Biobank Consortium: an opportunity for cooperative international respiratory research

“…As recommend by the LTRC, the European Human Frozen Tumour Tissue Bank [7] and the National Cancer Institute [8], to ensure uniformity in the collection and management of the biological samples and clinical information recorded, the CPBC has established standard operation procedures that include specific training of the local personnel involved in each hospital and periodic on-site audits to evaluate the quality of the samples and the accuracy of the data recorded.…”

Review Paper: Human Tissues for Discovery Biomarker Pharmaceutical Research: The Experience of the Indiana University Simon Cancer Center—Lilly Research Labs Tissue/Fluid BioBank

“…The decision to provide human tissue should be based on the specific and general interests of the patient and of society. 1,4,8,10,14,16,17,19,20 Tissue banking requirements of patient confidentiality, informed consent, and local institutional review board (IRB) review find their beginnings in the Holocaust, which led to the creation of the Nuremberg Code and the Declaration of Helsinki. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act's (HIPAA) final modifications to the Privacy Rules went into effect in April 2003, and they have added to the statutory and regulatory requirements in the United States.…”
