FAQs on Human and Animal Source Samples

Q A
Where are the detailed regulations on this topic?
 Regulation of samples of human or animal origin
What's regarded as an "animal" ? By “animals”, we are referring only to vertebrates covered by NIH regulation. If cell lines used for the NYSBC related research are subject to your IRB or IACUC review, then the resulting samples are regarded as human or animal derived, and subject to this regulation.

Can I bring animals to NYSBC for immediate sacrifice? At present, our lease forbids this. However if it is absolutely essential to your research, we could seek a waiver, but this may take an inordinate amount of time not under NYSBC's control. We suggest that you try transporting immediately postmortem samples for prep at NYSBC at first, and if there seems to be problems of degredation, then setting up sample preparation / stabilization at your home laboratory where you can sacrifice locally.

All your procedures with live animals should be approved by your local IACUC
 
What other certifications are generally needed for NYSBC samples? Please note again the regulations concerning EACH AND EVERY sample, that for the purposes of safety and of conformance to NIH regulation, all NYSBC labs and facilities, and all affiliate use must be consistent with,
1. Certification that there are no CDC select agents at NYSBC or reagents derived from them.
2. Certification that all recombinant DNA projects conducted at NYSBC fall within the NIH Guidelines exemption. This does not restrict what's done at the Member Institutions.
3. Certification that there is compliance with the OSHA Blood borne pathogen standard (29 CFR Bloodborne pathogens. - 1910.1030).
4. advice to and discussion with NYSBC on the use of any organism for recombinant activity other than non-pathogenic strains of E. coli
What about pathogenic strains of E. coli ? As a generic rule, we assume that all NYSBC labs/facilities, and affiliate users will be using non-pathogenic strains of E. coli for protein preparation purposes, that the organism is stored in the general wet labs, and that the scientific director of each NYSBC lab/facility and each affiliate PI is the responsible PI. You must advise us and discuss with us if you wish to do otherwise. There may also be issues associated with recombinant DNA.
