Through close integration with the UW Health enterprise, TSB BioBank utilizes an IRB-approved protocol (2023-1237) to collect, process, store, and distribute a broad array of human-derived biospecimens that meet the varying needs of individual investigators, including:
- Solid tissue
- Surgical waste
- Surgical remnants following completion of pathologic examination
- Dedicated research collections in association with a clinical procedure (e.g. additional pass of a needle core biopsy)
- Blood
- Clinical remnants
- Extra blood in association with a clinical collection
- Dedicated research collection
- Any component
- Whole blood
- Serum
- Plasma
- PBMC’s
- Buffy coat
- Other body fluids
- Any remnants from a clinical procedure
- Additional bone marrow aspirate in association with a clinical procedure
- Volunteered urine
- Volunteered saliva
- Surface swabs
Upon developing a complete understanding of both research and clinical needs, an appropriate approach for obtaining a specimen is identified and specific workflows are established to accommodate both clinical workflows and specimen processing requirements.
