Human and Vertebrate Animal Tissue Form (6B)
Required for research involving fresh/frozen tissue (including primary cell lines, human and other primate established cell lines
and tissue cultures), blood, blood products and body luids. If the research involves living organisms please ensure that the
proper human or animal forms are completed. All projects using any tissue listed above must also complete Form 6A.
Student’s Name(s)
Title of Project
To be completed by Student Researcher(s):
1. What vertebrate animal tissue will be used in this study? Check all that apply.
Fresh or frozen tissue sample
Fresh organ or other body part
Blood
Body luids
Primary cell/tissue cultures
Human or other primate established cell lines
2. Where will the above tissue(s) be obtained? If using an established cell line include source and catalog number.
3. If the tissue will be obtained from a vertebrate animal study conducted at a research institution attach a copy of
the IACUC certiication with the name of the research institution, the title of the study, the IACUC approval num-
ber and a copy of IACUC approval.
To be completed by the Qualified Scientist or Designated Supervisor:
I verify that the student will work solely with organs, tissues, cultures or cells that will be supplied to him/her by myself
or qualiied personnel from the laboratory; and that if vertebrate animals were euthanized they were euthanized for a
purpose other than the student’s research.
AND/OR
I certify that the blood, blood products, tissues or body luids in this project will be handled in accordance with the
standards and guidance set forth in U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29CFR, Subpart Z, 1910.1030 - Blood Borne
