The Biosample Services Facility provides a broad spectrum
of biosample processing,
management, and banking services to investigators in the Harvard-Partners research
community.
Services are available to IRB approved studies in the HMS-Partners community
and beyond.
We accept whole blood from appropriately consented subjects for processing
to DNA,
lymphoblast cell lines, serum, and plasma. We offer cryogenic storage of the
purified products
as required, in addition to tracking of sample histories in a Laboratory Information
Management System dedicated to the BSF facility operation.
