TRC - Translational Research Centre

The TRC collects tissue specimens by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) using best available evidence and expert concensus. Transport and processing times are minimized and freeze-thaw cycles are avoided.

Specimens collected:

  • Blood (whole, plasma, serum, buffy coat)
  • Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL)
  • Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
  • Urine
  • Solid Tissue
  • Saliva
  • For specimens of research interest not listed, please Contact Us.

Sample SOP's available here

SOP's developed in collaboration with the Canadian Critical Care Trials Group and the Ontario Cancer Biomarker Network.
