Standardizing human placenta sample collection is crucial for reliable research. This review offers an evidence-based protocol to improve data quality and reproducibility in placental studies.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Biobanking

Background:

  • Biobanks are vital for research, but sample integrity is paramount for reliable results.
  • Placental tissue is susceptible to degradation due to delivery stress and delayed collection.
  • Standardized collection protocols enhance sample sharing and enable larger research datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an evidence-based review of factors affecting human placental sample quality.
  • To propose an expert-recommended protocol for optimal placental sample collection.
  • To guide researchers in selecting appropriate collection methods based on study needs.

Main Methods:

  • Expert review of existing literature and best practices.
  • Development of a standardized placental sample collection protocol.
