Effective Date: March 12, 2026

Due to an unexpected instrument malfunction, the Joint Biobank is currently unable to perform quantification and quality control for nucleic acid samples. Consequently, applications for the following services are temporarily suspended:

• DNA extracted from tissue
• DNA extracted from buffy coat

Alternative Solutions for Researchers: While extraction services are unavailable, researchers may still apply for Tissue Chunk or Buffy Coat specimens to perform their own extractions.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to your ongoing research. For further inquiries, please contact the Joint Biobank team at TMU-biobank@tmu.edu.tw.
