Processing and Storage of Biospecimen Samples
Formerly Specimen Processing Lab (SPL)
Fred Hutch’s Clinical Research Specimen Processing shared resource provides investigators with processing, storage, and distribution of clinical research specimens. Our highly trained staff offers expert specimen handling to researchers in the Fred Hutch/University of Washington/Seattle Children's Cancer Consortium, as well as researchers from institutions around the world, to advance their clinical research studies.
Our Services
Our specimen processing team offers dedicated laboratory support to large population-based studies, with a strong emphasis on quality control. We provide that critical link between collection and analysis by coordinating directly with study teams to initiate specimen processing, in accordance with individual study lab manuals, and then distribute specimens while maintaining rigorous chain of custody.
Our Team at Work
We work with each investigator to meet the unique needs of their studies. Our goal: to do our part in the development of new treatments that save lives from cancer and related diseases.
