Practical issues in tissue banking.

Abstract

Medical and hospital facilities, including hospital blood banks, may be involved in various aspects of tissue banking. A key issue in running a successful tissue bank is understanding the scope of activity performed. The steps involved in collection, processing, storage, and distribution are reviewed, and potentially applicable rules and regulations and practical issues of tissue banking are discussed. In addition, "industry" standards that focus on storage and distribution of tissue for transplantation are summarized.
