Human biospecimens · sourced worldwide

Biospecimensthat movescience forward

EDBIO sources and supplies human biospecimens for research — biofluids, tissue and viable cells from healthy donors and defined patient populations, with the clinical and demographic data that make a result interpretable.

The premise

Every study stands on material someone else collected. Our job is that you know exactly what that material is.

EDBIO sources human biofluids, tissue and viable cells — from healthy donors and from patients with defined conditions — through diagnostic laboratories, clinics and biobanks across several regions. Residual specimens, prospective collections and existing inventories are all within reach.

Every sample is supplied with the laboratory, clinical or demographic data your protocol calls for. Where the catalogue has no answer, we design the collection around your specification instead of offering the nearest match.

Why EDBIO

Four things that decide whether material is usable

Quality and compliance

We work with vetted partners and supply high-quality human biospecimens, including remnant samples, under strict regulatory compliance.

Global reach

Access to a worldwide network of biospecimen providers — diagnostic laboratories, clinics and biobanks across several regions.

Custom sourcing

If a sample is not in the current offering, we design a sourcing solution around your protocol instead of selling you the nearest match.

Data transparency

Comprehensive sample information, so that results stay reproducible and a finding can be traced back to its donor context.

How a request runs

Four steps, and you know after the second one whether it works

Feasibility comes before any commitment. If the material is not sourceable under your criteria, that is the answer you get — not a substitute.

  • 01

    Your request

    Specimen type, donor criteria, volumes, data requirements — as precise as you have it. A protocol excerpt is enough to start.

  • 02

    Feasibility

    We check availability across our provider network and come back with what is realistically sourceable, including where it comes from.

  • 03

    Sourcing

    Collection or retrieval runs against your specification: processing, aliquoting and accompanying data as agreed.

  • 04

    Delivery

    Shipment under the required conditions, with the associated clinical and demographic data set.
