What are the benefits of using frozen tissue samples for your research?

Due to the preservation of cellular and molecular structures, tissue samples from miscellaneous sources and time periods can be analysed retrospectively and therefore allow researchers to study disease processes, genetic mutations and gene expression patterns to answer molecular and epigenetic questions.

Can frozen tissue samples be used for clinical purposes or testing?

Frozen tissue samples can be used for molecular diagnostics such as genetic testing or to identify specific biomarkers that are related to certain diseases. Central BioHub helps scientists worldwide to expand their biomedical research studies and aims to empower the discovery of new therapeutical approaches and medical treatments with the largest catalogue of human biospecimens.

How long can you store human tissue samples?

Human tissue samples can be stored for several years and sometimes even decades by freezing them at ultra-low temperatures that are typically below -80 °C.

Where are frozen tissue samples stored?

Frozen tissue samples are typically stored in specialized cryogenic freezers with liquid nitrogen, which provide a stable and low-temperature environment for long-term preservation. As a certified provider for human tissue samples, Central BioHub and its partners follow strict quality checks regarding the preparation, storage and shipping processes of specimens to guarantee our customers only high-quality frozen tissue samples at any time.
