Our Mission

At Sample Exchange, we're committed to building an open, collaborative ecosystem for scientific sample sharing. We believe that by democratizing access to research materials and fostering transparent collaboration between researchers and institutions worldwide, we can accelerate open scientific discovery while making research more efficient, equitable, and cost-effective.

The Sample Exchange Story

Scientists are always scrounging around for money. We realized we didn't have enough grant funding to organize yet another expensive sample collection trip to Alaska, to get permafrost samples. A researcher from the U. of Alaska helped us out by collecting samples and sharing them with us for free! How wonderful!

You can say with Sample Exchange, we are simply paying it forward!
