BRB Preclinical Biologics Repository
Frederick, MD
The BRB Preclinical Repository is a central repository that supplies reagents to the broad research community. This NCI-sponsored repository is managed by NCI's Biological Resources Branch (BRB). The BRB Preclinical Repository stores cytokines, monoclonal antibodies, and other biologic reagents under carefully controlled conditions to ensure a uniform supply of high-quality reagents. These reagents many be used for non-clinical research by qualified investigators at public, academic and non-profit institutions. There is no charge for the reagents, but investigators will be required to pay … [learn more]

DCTD Tumor Repository
Frederick, MD
The Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP) within NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnostics (DCTD), has maintained a low temperature repository of transplantable in vivo-derived tumors and in vitro-established tumor cell lines from various species. This Tumor Repository, located at the National Cancer Institute in Frederick serves as a resource for viable, pathogen-screened experimental tumor lines, many of which are not available elsewhere. The Repository makes these materials available to qualified investigators as a service to the cancer research community. Please find the ma… [learn more]

DTP Repository of Chemical Agents
Rockville, MD
DTP maintains a repository of synthetic compounds and pure natural products that are available to investigators for non-clinical research purposes. The Repository collection is a uniquely diverse set of more than 200,000 compounds that have been either submitted to DTP for biological evaluation or, in some cases, synthesized under DTP auspices. Samples obtained from the NCI/DTP Open Chemicals Repository are available at no cost except for shipping charges. Importantly, investigators should note that chemical structures of these substances are those assigned by the originator of the material an… [learn more]

NCI Specimen Resource Locator (SRL)
ROCKVILLE, MD
The Specimen Resource Locator (SRL) is a biospecimen resource database designed to help researchers locate resources that may have the samples needed for their investigational use. This publicly searchable database includes information about biospecimen banks and sample procurement services. The specimens and samples come from non-commercial, either NCI or non-NCI-funded resources. Investigators can search the database and gain access to thousands of specimens of various tumor, organ, and preservation methods. Please submit all SRL inquiries using the “Contact the Expediter” button on t… [learn more]
