- Select Search > Search SOPs.
The Search SOPs page appears.
- For maximum search accuracy, specify search criteria by clicking items in the lists.
- To select multiple fields in the same list, click the first field, press and hold the CTRL key, and then click additional fields. The fields you select are highlighted and your search results contain all SOPs matching any of the fields. For example, if you select both the Cell and Fluid biospecimen types, your search results contain all SOPs that concern either cells or fluid.
When you select fields from different lists, you narrow your search. For example, if you select the Cell biospecimen type and the Kidney biospecimen location, your search results include SOPs that concern both cells and kidneys.
The following table describes the SOP search criteria.
Info Note that the selections you make in the lists on the left determine the selections in the lists on the right. For example, selecting the Biospecimen Type “Fluid” makes “Blood” an available Biospecimen Location.
SOP Search Criteria
Description
Source Select the organization or institution that developed the SOP. Tier SOPs are organized in a hierarchy system. The base tier is SOP. Progression to a higher tier will represent the work invested and the confidence level BBRB has in the document. - SOP: A library of collection of SOPs reviewed and formatted for public dispersal.
- Biospecimen Evidence-Based Practices: An SOP that has been transformed into evidence-based procedural guidelines. The protocols are more flexible, indicating the optimal but also acceptable practices when possible. Evidence is summarized in "Summaries of Literature Evidence" and includes internal citation and two reference sections (one for laboratory guidelines and one for literature references).
- Expert-vetted: After a Biospecimen Evidence-Based Practice served as the topic of a expert workshop, feedback from the workshop would be applied to the document.
Specimens
Biospecimen Type
Select the type of biospecimen (Cell/Fluid/Tissue).
Biospecimen Location
Select the anatomical location from which the biospecimen was obtained.
Diagnoses Diagnosis
Select the term that identifies the nature of a disease or condition associated with the biospecimen.
Diagnosis Subcategory
Select the diagnosis subdivision that differentiates the disease within the larger category.
Info Diagnosis Subcategory is only available for the diagnosis "neoplastic.”
Topics Topic
Select the topic or scope of the SOP document.
If you want to search for items not present in the lists such as specific genes or biomarkers, enter those items in the Keyword(s) box. A keyword search searches all curated fields as well as the SOP document.To increase specificity, you can combine the keyword search with other fields on the Search SOPs page. You can enter multiple words into the Keyword(s) box with or without a search operator. See Conduct a Simple Search for a list of supported search operators. See the table below for field-specific search operators.
Info title Case-Sensitivity All fields and search operators are case-sensitive.
Field-Specific Search Operator Example Results Prefacing a search phrase with Title limits the query for the search phrase to the SOP title. title: GTEx All SOPs containing the word GTEx in their title fields. Prefacing a search phrase with Description limits the query for the search phrase to the SOP description. description: "surgical tissue" All SOPs containing the exact phrase "surgical tissue" in their description fields. Prefacing a search phrase with BRD-ID limits the query for the search phrase to the BRD ID. brdId: 8 The single SOP with a BRD ID of 8. Prefacing a search phrase with Body limits the query for the search phrase to the SOP document. body: procurement procedure All SOPs containing the words procurement and procedure in the body of the document. Info Gene symbol use is not standardized, so search by the full gene name.

Submitting an SOP
If you know of an SOP that would be a useful addition to the Biospecimen Research Database, you can suggest it. SOP suggestions are screened against BRD contents to prevent duplication. Curators will review each suggestion and add BRD-appropriate SOPs to the database.
If you include your email address, you will receive an email with a link to monitor the status of the suggested SOP.
To suggest submit a new SOP
- Click the Suggest a New Submit an SOP tab. The Suggest a New SOP page appears.
- Enter the following required fields about yourself: name, email address, and organization.
- Optionally, provide your phone number.
- Enter the SOP's title.
- Optionally, enter the SOP's version and description. The Description field should include relevant information about the SOP, its source, and any other URLs where it may be found. This field will be made public.
- Click Browse to upload the SOP document.
- From the Source list, select the organization or institution that developed the SOP. If the Source is not listed, select "Other" and type the Source into the text box.
- In the Note to Curator box, indicate whether this SOP is part of a new or an existing Compendium. If this SOP is a new version of an existing entry, include any updates to fields here or specify them by selecting additional biospecimens, diagnoses, and topics (see steps 10-12). Note that this field will remain private and will not be published as part of the entry.
- If the suggested SOP is a new version of an existing BRD entry, enter its BRD ID. The BRD ID is located on the SOP page of individual versions. Use the BRD ID of the last published version of this SOP, if applicable.
- Select the biospecimen associated with this SOP suggestion, as follows:
- From the Biospecimen Type list, select a biospecimen. Options are Cell, Fluid, and Tissue.
Select the anatomical location from which the biospecimen was obtained.
Click Add Biospecimen.
Info You can add multiple biospecimen types and locations to the SOP suggestion.
From the Diagnosis list, select the term that identifies the nature of a disease or condition associated with the biospecimen, then click Add Diagnosis. Not Specified and General are available options. You can add multiple diagnoses to the SOP suggestion.
- From the Topic list, select the topic or scope of the SOP suggestion, then click Add Topic. You can add multiple topics to the SOP suggestion.
