1. Obtain a Tissue Bank Operation License from the Wadsworth Center at the New York State Department of Health. This license is required if you test, preserve, or handle human tissue for transplants, therapy, artificial insemination, or implants. [More information]
2. Ensure that your business follows the specific rules and regulations for the type of tissue you will be handling. Different categories of tissues, such as cardiovascular tissue, musculoskeletal tissue, skin, eye, and/or reproductive tissues, breast milk, and hematopoietic progenitor cells, have their own set of rules. [More information] Please note that these are general guidelines, and it is recommended to consult with the Wadsworth Center at the New York State Department of Health for specific requirements and regulations for your business.
