The Emory University Children’s Clinical and Translational Discovery Core (CTDC) is approved to collect 10-50mL of blood per participant. The CTDC collects whole blood for processing into its components (plasma, serum, or PBMCs). These processed samples are subsequently stored in the CTDC Biorepository for future distribution to approved investigators. If an approved investigator requires fresh whole blood for their approved research project, then the following parameters will apply:
If the requested volume of Whole Blood is <30mL then the CTDC, if needed/able, will collect up to 50mL of blood and distribute up to 30mL of the fresh whole blood to the investigator. The remaining 20mL of blood will be processed and added to the CTDC Biorepository. The Principal Investigator will be billed for the time required to consent and draw the samples, as well as supplies (including the participant's $25 Target Gift Card). Should the PI choose to provide fresh whole blood to CTDC to process and store in the biorepository, the fee will be waived.
