Researchers may use this site to browse, search and request biospecimens to use in qualified studies. The development of the ABL was guided by the Arizona Biospecimen Consortium (ABC), a consortium of hospitals and medical centers in the Phoenix area, and is now being piloted by this Consortium under the direction of ABRC. You may browse by type (cells, fluid, molecular, tissue) or disease. Common data elements decided by the ABC Standards Committee, based on data elements on the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Common Biorepository Model (CBM), are displayed. These describe the minimum set of data elements that the NCI determined were most important for a researcher to see about a biospecimen. The ABL currently does not display information on whether or not clinical data is available to accompany the biospecimens. However, a requester has the ability to solicit clinical data in the request. Once a request is approved, the biospecimen provider will contact the requester to discuss the request (and the requester's questions) before finalizing the invoice and shipment. The ABL is available to the public to browse. In order to request biospecimens from the ABL, the researcher will be required to submit the requested required information. Upon submission of the information, shipment of the requested biospecimen(s) will be dependent on the scientific and institutional review approval. Account required. Registration is open to everyone. nlx_17349 Resource:Arizona Biospecimen Locator 2012-09-06T00:00:00 Research Resource Resource Arizona Biomedical Research Commission Supporting Agency SuperCategory Human Species Normal Diseased Related disease Related application US Biobank Resource:One Mind Biospecimen Bank Listing RelatedTo Paraffin embedded block Liquid nitrogen Frozen Slide Processing ModifiedDate Label Catalog Alaska native American Indian Pacific Islander Native Hawaiian African American Asian White Female Male Spanish Hispanic Orbit Spinal cord Thalamus Sleep Spine Liver Kidney Intestine Eye Brain Bone Genomics Biospecimen Translational Clinical Keywords Resource:Arizona Biomedical Research Commission Is part of Id Biomaterial supply resource Cell repository Data set Tissue bank Has role File:ABL.PNG ExampleImage Definition DefiningCitation CurationStatus Comment Public: We distribute specimens throughout the US and worldwide to use in qualified studies.
