Overview

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 the SRL homepage. The expediter is a scientist that can assist in search efforts.

User Guidelines

To access available biospecimens, ALL INVESTIGATORS are asked to click the Search Resources button on the SRL homepage and enter the requirements of the specimen you are seeking.

No account is needed for any SRL searches.

If you do not find what you are looking for in the database, please contact the Expediter through the “Contact the Expediter” button on the SRL homepage to assist you with a custom search.
