National Institutes of Health
Human embryonic and fetal tissues are available form the Central
Laboratory for Human Embryology at the University of Washington. The
laboratory, which is supported by the National Institutes of Health,
can supply tissue from normal of abnormal embryos and fetuses of
desired gestational ages between 40 days and term. Specimens are
obtained within minutes of passage and tissues are aseptically
identified, staged and immediately processed according to the
requirements of individual investigators. Presently, processing
methods include immediate fixation, snap fixation, snap freezing in
liquid nitrogen, and placement in balanced salt solutions or media
designated and/or supplied by investigators. Specimens are shipped
by overnight express, arriving the day following procurement. The
laboratory can also supply serial sections of human embryos that have
been preserved in methyl Carnoy's fixative, embedded in paraffin and
sectioned at 5 microns.
