Are all samples collected under the required IRB/ethics approval with informed consent?
Yes. We only work with sources that have the required IRB/ethical approval in place for that country and have informed donor consent. We carefully vet each new source in our network to ensure that all this is in place. We can provide anonymized copies of this information for all of our sources for our clients to review.
