Mapping Exposure-Induced Immune Effects: Connecting the Exposome and the Immunome by Eximious

Standard operating procedures (SOP) tool

The EXIMIOUS SOP tool is a collection of protocols which describe the collection, storage and shipment of biological samples for analysis of internal exposome markers.

EXIMIOUS involves collection of large amount of data, including biological samples, for the characterization of external and internal exposome markers. Samples are collected, stored and shipped at different sample collection and involves many different centers/ partner organisations.

Several sample collection sites pose additional challenges such as mines and factories, and we also sampled patients in hospitals. In these complex projects, it is of crucial importance that a common, evidence-based and harmonized protocol is drafted and applied.
