Description

This evidence-based, expert-vetted best practices document describes the collection and processing of blood for cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis as well as cfDNA extraction and storage. Biospecimens processed under these procedural guidelines are suitable for research and clinical analysis of cfDNA of either fetal or tumor origin and detection of both somatic and germline mutations. The BEBP document series is a product of the National Cancer Institute's Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research Branch (NCI BBRB) and can also be found on their website (https://biospecimens.cancer.gov/resources/bebp.asp).
