Tissue Requests
To request tissue from the Biospecimen Repository, please follow the Tissue Request Guidelines. Requests for tissue from outside the College of Veterinary Medicine must submit an outside tissue request form.
Guidelines
- In order to receive tissue samples from the Biospecimen Repository, investigators must submit a request form and attach a brief description or abstract of the project for which the tissue is requested.
- There is currently no charge for tissues requested by investigators within the College of Veterinary Medicine, but please factor in a charge of $10 per sample in future grant applications.
- After receiving the request, the Biospecimen Repository will
provide a list of available tissues with some or all of the following
information:
- OSU Clinic Number
- Histopathological diagnosis
- Breed
- Age
- Gender
- Number of samples available
- The investigator requests specific tissues from this list and any additional information about the samples such as clinical data or tumor site.
- The tissue bank will contact the investigator to arrange for transfer of tissues.
- Samples are for the sole use of the requesting PI and may not be distributed to other investigators without written permission of the Biospecimen Repository.
- Distribution outside OSU requires a material transfer agreement.
- The Biospecimen Repository is not responsible for infectious diseases associated with tissue received from the bank.
- The Biospecimen Repository at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine shall be acknowledged in any publications arising from use of these samples
