De-identified samples are available to researchers. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive resource that will procure, characterize, and distribute high-quality human specimens according to rigid protocols and ethical guidelines. We are sponsored by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uconnhealth.org\/cancer-blood-disorders\">Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center<\/a> and work closely with clinical and basic science investigators concentrating on translational research.<\/p>\n<p>Our services include consenting of eligible patients, coordination for specimen collection, storage, data management, and specimen distribution. We are able to collect specimens to researcher\u2019s specifications, such as procurement in RPMI media or RNAlater<em>.<\/em> We offer H &amp; E, unstained and frozen sections on slides as well as paraffin and OCT curls. RNA and DNA isolation from specimens are also available, using methods that preserve the integrity of the nucleic acids.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-7-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-7-2\" data-stretch-type=\"full\" ><div id=\"pgc-7-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-7-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div class=\"textwidget\"><h3 style=\"text-align: center\">Contact Us<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Please email us for pricing and a full listing of tissue sites and products available.<\/p>\n<table class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"width: 65%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 65%;text-align: left\"><strong>Lorrie Perpetua<\/strong><br \/>\nTissue Bank Coordinator<br \/>\nRoom L1086<br \/>\n263 Farmington Avenue, MC 1600<br \/>\nFarmington, CT 06030<br \/>\nPhone: 860-679-1889<br \/>\nFax: 860-679-8839<br \/>\nEmail: <a href=\"mailto:Lperpetua@uchc.edu\">lperpetua@uchc.edu<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;text-align: left\"><strong>Dr. Mary Melinda Sanders<\/strong><br \/>\nPrincipal Investigator<br \/>\nDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine<br \/>\n263 Farmington Avenue, MC 3985<br \/>\nFarmington, CT 06030-3985<br \/>\nPhone: 860-679-3386<br \/>\nEmail: <a href=\"mailto:msanders@uchc.edu\">msanders@uchc.edu<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UConn Health Research Biorepository consists of de-identified tissue and\/or blood samples and patient data obtained from consented patients coupled with a database of clinical and laboratory data.
