Tissues
We are a multi-tissue bank, composed of a highly qualified team with internationally recognized prestige.
What is done with the tissues received at the Blood and Tissue Bank
We are a multi-tissue bank, made up of a highly qualified team with internationally renowned prestige. Our goal is to offer the best therapeutic response for each of the needs of patients and professionals, following the highest standards of safety and quality.
The donation and transplant process is globally controlled, from the detection and evaluation of potential donors to transplantation, through obtaining, processing, and storage. We guarantee the traceability and monitoring of implanted tissues at all times.
Research, development, and innovation are constant priorities to provide the best solution for patients.

Internationally recognised prestige
With years of experience and specialised knowledge, we work to ensure the effectiveness of donation and transplantation processes.
We have global process control
From the initial certification and over the years, quality permeates the organisation's processes and centres.
We guarantee safety, traceability, and surveillance
We use advanced technologies and rigorous protocols to ensure that each donated tissue meets the highest levels of safety, with complete traceability and constant surveillance.
What do I need to be able to use tissues?
The professional who wants to use tissues of human origin needs to meet the following requirements:
- Administrative authorisation for tissue implantation, which must be requested by the implanting centre from the Directorate General of Health Planning (for more information https://trasplantaments.gencat.cat/)
- Register as a client of the Blood and Tissue Bank (you can contact by email at btinfo@bst.cat for more information)
For any clarification, you can contact btinfo@bst.cat.
International Projects and Collaborations
We participate in our own research projects or in collaboration with all the centers of the Catalan Health Institute, with many of those in the Public Hospital Network, with Catalan Universities, and we promote strategic alliances with research centers around the world.

Your role as a professional is essential during the donation
Healthcare professionals must provide clear and accurate information to the donor about the donation process, as well as provide post-donation care to ensure their well-being and recovery.
