Biospecimen Processing and Biorepository
The Biospecimen Processing and Biorepository (BPB) in Fred Hutch’s Shared Resources has been operating as a critical institution-wide resource for more than 30 years. We are a qualified, experienced research facility that actively engages in clinical research through peripheral blood mononuclear cell isolation, EBV-immortalization of B cells, tissue culture maintenance, DNA extraction, and inventory control.
The laboratory has supported multiple national and international programs, serving as a qualified repository for tissue samples and cell lines.
