[Histonet] Tissue repository

 Hi Curt,
Does your lab have an in-house legal department?  If so, have you consulted with them about this?  The attorneys for the hospital I worked in wanted nothing to do with providing patient tissue to outside interests who were willing to pay for it.

 Hi all,

So running a ref lab for years I've acquired a rather large supply of old blocks of various tissues, I'm considering turning this into a tissue bank/repository with the purpose of selling blocks for research and control purposes... anyone have any experience, what are the requirements to be compliant??? I have zero experience with this. I'm guessing some release forms, maybe patient consent forms (IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THOSE FOR BLOCKS THAT ARE 10 YRS OLD)... release of liability forms... I'm starting at zero so any insight is appreciated!

Best!

Curt
