• Data collection arrangements

  A wide range of anonymised diseased and normal human tissue samples with an associated minimal data set will be sourced from organisations within the UK that are ethically approved to obtain such samples. Where samples are to be imported from outside the UK, documentation will be obtained from those organisations to show that the tissues have been sourced within the terms of the local legal and regulatory requirements and that these broadly match the UK requirements particularly with respect to informed consent. As a general rule the types and amounts of tissue that will be obtained for the Research Tissue Bank, Envigo will be dictated by the requirements of a specific research study.
