Our Mission: To process, store, test and distribute precious bio-samples following best practices.
Our Goal: Enable support for both ongoing research and future studies by providing biospecimen processing, testing, storage and shipping capabilities. Provide the highest quality biomaterials, specimen services, technical consultation and logistical support.
Our Vision: To deliver high-quality specimen processing, research-based clinical testing, and biomarker discovery services that preserve sample integrity and advance translational research.
How We Operate: We operate on a project-by-project basis, supporting Investigator-Initiated, Divisional, and Center-based IRB-approved studies as well as clinical trials. Our team provides specimen processing and research testing services aligned with study-specific protocols to ensure quality and consistency. To discuss your project needs or explore how our services can support your study, contact Richard Tustin at tustinr@chop.edu
Biobanking projects must align with institutional principles and be reviewed by the BioRC Operational Committee (BOC*). Our team can help guide you through that process.
In addition, we offer fee-for-service support—including blood fractionation (serum, plasma, and PBMC isolation), clinical trial specimen processing, and research testing—which does not require BOC approval and can be initiated directly with our group.
