With our FFPE tissue generation service, tissues are collected from donors of various disease states, then promptly processed into FFPE tissue blocks and cataloged. The advantage? Blocks are created precisely according to your research specifications, and we accomplish this in the same timeframe a biobank would take to organize a retroactive sample shipment. Data manifests, pathology reports, and block/slide images are provided before the final shipment, giving you the flexibility to add and subtract samples as necessary.   How it Works ## The Process - 1. Project Design & Kick-off - 2. Tissue Collection & FFPE Tissue Block Generation - 3. Data Review - 4. FFPE Tissue Block Shipment - Tab Label 1. Project Design & Kick-off Get Started ### Project Design & Kick-off Collaborate with BioSample Connect to identify the tissues and donor disease states that would be valuable to your team. This is the stage where we can discuss custom tissue processing. 2. Tissue Collection & FFPE Tissue Block Generation Recruitment Begins ### Tissue Collection & FFPE Tissue Block Generation Donors are recruited for the project and provide tissue samples which are then immediately fixed and embedded in paraffin.  3. Data Review Transparency ### Data Review Data manifests, pathology reports, and sample images are shared for your review prior to shipment. All data is shared and downloadable through an exclusive client portal prepared at project initiation.  4. FFPE Tissue Block Shipment International & Domestic ### FFPE Tissue Block Shipment Once all data is reviewed and approval is provided, all FFPE tissue blocks are shipped. If tissues were sourced internationally and destined for the US, they will go through our NJ lab for quality control before the final stage of transport.

We generally arrange for the collection of whole blood to occur 24-48 hours after tissue procurement, with a steadfast focus on ensuring the donor's well-being and comfort. - **Matched FFPE, Serum, & Plasma** - **Matched FFPE & PBMCs** - **Matched FFPE & Urine** - **Matched Diseased FFPE & NAT FFPE** [Tissues](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/tissues) [Whole Blood](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/whole-blood-products) Full Transparency ## Pre-Shipment Data | | Data Manifest | Pathology Report | Block & Slide Images | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Oncology | | | | | Autoimmune | | | | | Neurology | | | | | Infectious Disease | | | | | Pulmonology | | | | | Cardiovascular | | | | ## Why FFPE Generation? ### ![an open green door](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_2024-10-28_at_5.56.09_PM-removebg-preview.png?width=504&height=495&name=Screenshot_2024-10-28_at_5.56.09_PM-removebg-preview.png) Accessibility Due to the global biosample shortage, locating FFPE tissue that suits your specific research requirements can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. However, with prospective FFPE tissue generation, you can avoid the hassle and have custom blocks generated exclusively for your research. ### ![A green money coin](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/A%20green%20money%20coin.jpeg?width=1024&height=1024&name=A%20green%20money%20coin.jpeg) Cost Savings The cost of receiving unusable samples can quickly outweigh the convenience of purchasing retrospectively collected specimens. The advantage of prospective FFPE tissue generation? We often offer pricing within 20% of that for retrospectively collected samples. ### ![a green microscope](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_2024-10-28_at_5.54.22_PM-removebg-preview.png?width=500&height=499&name=Screenshot_2024-10-28_at_5.54.22_PM-removebg-preview.png) Precision We can utilize our standard FFPE tissue preparation protocol or customize it to your specifications. Slide preparation, IHC staining, and further analysis are available. QC reports accompany each FFPE tissue block produced. ### Quote Submission Form Start Here ## Request FFPE Generation Quote Fill out the form and a representative will get back to you shortly. Learn More ## Frequently Asked Questions     How long does it typically take to acquire 50 samples from a common oncology condition. Projects involving conditions such as colon, prostate, or breast cancer typically have a turnaround time of 3 to 4 weeks for tissue collection, FFPE block generation, and shipment delivery. What shipping temperatures are available? FFPE blocks are usually sent at room temperature, although ice packs may be added upon request. Are donors consented? Yes, a blank copy of the ICF is provided prior to to the start of every project.  How is the data manifest transferred? All de-identified donor data is transferred via a secure client portal that allows for real time messaging with us should any questions arise.  ## Resources [See more](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/resources) ### [Impact of Mergers in the Biospecimen Industry](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/resources/impact-of-mergers-in-the-biospecimen-industry) ### [Expanding Global Tissue Procurement Networks](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/resources/expanding-global-tissue-procurement-networks) ### [Whole Blood Processing into Serum/Plasma within 45 Minutes](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/resources/whole-blood-processing-into-serum/plasma-within-45-minutes) [![BSC-JB Stacked 400px](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/hs-fs/hubfs/BSC-JB%20Stacked%20400px.png?width=500&height=174&name=BSC-JB%20Stacked%20400px.png "BSC-JB Stacked 400px")](https://www.biosampleconnect.com) - [Resources](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/resources) - [Contact Us](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/contact-us) - [Purchase Terms](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/purchase-terms) - [Terms of Use](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/terms-conditions) - [Privacy Policy](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/privacy-policy) Joined Bio / BSC 450 Bedford Street Suite 2100 Lexington, MA 02420 United States ![Registered Scientist.com Supplier](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/hs-fs/hubfs/Registered%20Scientist.com%20Supplier.png?width=250&height=162&name=Registered%20Scientist.com%20Supplier.png "Registered Scientist.com Supplier") ![verified-supplier](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/hubfs/verified-supplier.svg "verified-supplier") ![5bb95c9342864-777246a749567d7b24e24ad5277b5590](https://biosampleconnect.joined.bio/hs-fs/hubfs/5bb95c9342864-777246a749567d7b24e24ad5277b5590.png?width=100&height=100&name=5bb95c9342864-777246a749567d7b24e24ad5277b5590.png "5bb95c9342864-777246a749567d7b24e24ad5277b5590") --- Copyright © 2025 Joined Bio, Inc.
