The Cooperative Human Tissue Network's (CHTN) Transient Inventory Data Access Launchpad (TIDAL) Application.
The CHTN is a prospective procurement service that assists the scientific community in obtaining human biosamples for research. Even though all projects utilizing the CHTN must be prospective procurement in nature, all CHTN divisions have transient inventory on hand. This tool allows CHTN Investigators to conduct searches on the transient inventories are held at various CHTN locations through the CHTN's distributed database search. To make a request and receive biosamples from the CHTN you must have an accepted and active protocol with a CHTN division. If you are not already a CHTN Investigator, you can apply to the CHTN by downloading the application here, contacting the Central Coordinator by using the 'Contact CHTN' link above. After conducting a TIDAL search, you can request biosample(s) in which you are interested. For more information/help on how to use TIDAL, click the 'Using Tidal' menu.
