OSU TriState SenNet Normal Donor Heart Acceptance Criteria v1

This protocol describes the criteria required for the inclusion of human heart specimens from healthy “normal” organ donors in the Comprehensive Transplant Center Human Tissue Biorepository and TriState SenNet Biospecimen Core at The Ohio State University as 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.
