Frequently Asked Questions
What is the expected timeline from request to delivery?
We work with a network of expert clinicians & clinical sites along the west coast to ensure high quality sample collection while keeping your timeline as well as patients' comfort and safety top of mind.
A single sample collection with little to no I/E criteria can take as little as 3 weeks to collect. For more complex requests with a larger volume of samples, our project managers will work directly with your team to provide transparency into the collection process and make sure our timeline fits within your research needs.
Do you handle everything?
Yes!, All we need to know is the specific sample type you're looking for and any I/E criteria you have. From there, Avrok manages IRB approval, communication with clinicians and clinical sites, shipping logistics, and more!
Can we get matching whole blood?
Yes. Our clinicians have the ability to collect 10-20 mL of whole blood during the time of sample collection
However, should whole blood material be of greater importance to your research than the tissue sample itself, click here to explore Avrok’s human cell procurement services.
How is shipping handled?
Avrok handles everything related to shipping. The sample will be collected at one of our partner sites, and will be shipped overnight to our lab for immediate processing.
After completing all of the requested processing/testing, our team will send the samples directly to your facility following your specifications.
Can we choose patients based on inclusion/exclusion criteria?
Yes, we can accept limited I/E criteria. Upon your submission, Avrok’s feasibility team will work with our network of expert clinicians & clinical sites to identify and acquire samples from your ideal patient profile.
It is important to note that I/E criteria will extend study timelines and increase the overall cost of sample collection.
