Research Tissue Connect
Closed pilot — access is by invitation only while we test with a small group of labs.

The organs your study discards are someone else’s whole experiment.

Research Tissue Connect lets Australian researchers advertise surplus animal tissue without advertising themselves. Listings show the model and the tissue — never the lab behind it — until you approve an introduction.

How an exchange works

01

List anonymously

Post only the facts: STZ rats, 6 weeks, brain available. Your name, lab and project stay hidden.

02

Receive a request

An interested researcher sends a request. You see their full profile — they still see nothing of yours.

03

You decide

Approve and your details are released to them. Decline and nothing is ever disclosed.

04

Agree the terms

Co-authorship, a share of animal costs, an acknowledgement, or simply goodwill.

Fewer animals, more data

A single STZ cohort can serve three labs instead of one. Every tissue matched here is a cohort another group did not have to order, house and euthanise — the Reduction principle, made practical.

Example listing

Brain tissue — STZ diabetic rats, 6 weeks

  • Sprague-Dawley, male, n = 12
  • Snap frozen (-80) or requester’s protocol
  • Collection window: March, VIC
  • Terms: co-authorship or share of animal costs
