We will provide the clinic with a kit containing a buffer solution to collect the tumor in.  

Tumor Transportion

If you are local, we will personally deliver the kit for tumor storage, and pick it up as soon as it is collected. If your clinic is farther, we will mail you a kit and provide a return label for your clinic to mail back to us. We provide an ice pack and buffer solution in the kit with instructions on what we are looking for in the sample. We prefer the tumor to be as fresh as possible when we receive it for optimal results. Thank you so much for contributing to this exciting study! We really appreciate your support!
