Subject: UK tissue/serum storage laws re: Human tissue act

 

Dear all,

does anyone in the UK know how to obtain a license for longer term storage of serum samples?

This has arisen as a consequence of a study that we are proposing - as we intend to keep the samples after the study is complete (for possible future research).

Many thanks for your advice.
