Important Notes Once the Biorepository receives the request, if there are any questions, the staff will reach out to you at the email address or the phone number provided. Please make sure the shipping address you provided in the request is accurate. You can identify such returned Specimens as follows. On Patient Checklist as well as in BioMS search of specimens, the Returned specimen will be shown with word “RETURNED” appended to the end of the Received Specimen Quality value. Please see an example shown below.
 Please note that a request for return will nullify the original specimen submission. This submission will be registered as 'unsubmitted' until: the the repository receives the block back, or an alternate tissue specimen that meets protocol/CSM criteria is submitted, or the specimen is recorded again as 'Not collected' with the reason noted.
