Biobank services for researchers

Finnish Clinical Biobank Tampere (FCBT) provides samples and related information for the purposes of biomedical, clinical and health science research. Samples may be provided for research or product and method development. We serve both academic researchers and companies. The aim is to ensure equal access to the materials by observing uniform criteria – each request for the transfer of samples and data will go through the same assessment process.

Please familiarise yourself with our data disclosure process here.
