This protocol describes the processing and storing of normal donor heart by the Comprehensive Transplant Center (CTC) Human Tissue Biorepository and at the TriState SenNet Biospecimen Core of The Ohio State University that functions as a part of the Cellular Senescence Network Program (SenNet). This protocol is based on the CTC Human Tissue Biorepository's standard operating procedure established for tissue collection for explant and donor samples. We follow routine laboratory specimen processing guidelines to ensure the highest biospecimen quality.
