Collection of blood and urine samples from healthy individuals for future research

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to collect blood and urine samples from healthy individuals aged 18 and older to build a biological sample repository. The samples will be used for developing and testing laboratory assays, maintaining quality control for specimen handling, and assessing exposure variability over time. Participants will have a single study visit lasting up to two hours, during which they will provide informed consent and undergo health screening. The collected samples will be stored for future research purposes.
