Biospecimens & Biomarker Testing for Precision Oncology Programs

Your breakthrough cancer research begins with diverse and well-characterized biospecimens. Discovery Life Sciences has an extensive inventory of human cancer samples, CLIA/CAP-certified service laboratories, and a team of experts dedicated to your cause. 

Better Cancer Biospecimens for Better Patient Outcomes

The cure is out there, and it starts with you and the biospecimens powering your research. Explore our diverse range of highly characterized human cancer biospecimens for your precision oncology program.

FFPE

Cell and gene therapy is transforming what’s possible with cancer research and treatment – but only with reliable, high-quality cellular starting materials and appropriate process analytics. Get both from Discovery and AllCells. 

DTC

Diseased and benign dissociated tissue and tumor cells (DTCs).

Biofluids

Blood-based biospecimens, including fresh whole blood, double-spun plasma, serum, buffy coat, cord blood and bone marrow.

Matched Sets

Matched donor biospecimen sets across various biospecimen formats.

Biofluids (Other)

Non-blood biofluid biospecimens, including urine, saliva, aspirate, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), oral swab, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), nasal fluid, synovial fluid, sputum and other biofluid biospecimens.

BMMCs

Diseased and healthy bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) with flow cytometric immunophenotypic data available.

Immune Cell Isolations

Isolated immune cells from healthy donors, all tested for viruses like HIV, HBV, HCV, and CMV.

Normal (Controls)

Highly characterized human cellular starting materials with 2,800+ recallable donors – paired with world-class genomics and flow cytometry labs.
