Aged Rodent Tissue Bank Handbook

NIA has developed a repository of tissue collected from the NIA Aged Rodent Colonies under contractual arrangement with BioReliance. The NIA colonies are barrier maintained and specific pathogen free. Tissues are fresh frozen and stored at –80 degrees Celcius. Tissue arrays containing multiple tissues from NIA rodents spanning the lifespan are now included in the tissue bank.

Tissue from the NIA Aged Rodent Tissue Bank is available to investigators at academic and nonprofit research institutions who are engaged in funded research on aging. The project name and funding source must accompany all orders. It may not be possible to ship tissue to foreign countries that have restrictions on the import of animal tissues or products.
