Get Started

You don’t have to be a scientist to impact medical research.

By donating a blood sample, you can contribute to research that benefits your family, friends and neighbors. A small sample is all it takes to help discover medical advancements for future generations.

Providing a sample to the Sanford BioBank is a one-time donation. It isn’t a test that provides results to the participant.

There is no cost to participate.

Donating is Easy

The only requirement to donate is you must be 18 years old or older. Request a consent form here.

Sanford BioBank will review your information and contact you when you’re approved to donate. To get your blood drawn, stop by any Sanford Health lab.

Be part of the future of medicine. Call (844) 692-4622 for more information.
