http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov/xml/owl/EVS/Thesaurus.owl#C70699

Samples of material, such as urine, blood, tissue, cells, DNA, RNA, and protein from humans, animals, or plants. Biospecimens are stored in a biorepository and are used for laboratory research. If the samples are from people, medical information may also be stored along with a written consent to use the samples in laboratory studies.

A substance or portion of material originally obtained from an entity for use in testing, examination, or study. EXAMPLE(S): Blood obtained by a specimen collection activity performed on a study subject. A few grains of cattle feed obtained from a feed sack. A randomly selected pill from a blister pack. A serum specimen that resulted from Centrifugation procedure performed on a blood specimen. A DNA specimen extraction from a saliva specimen. A Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) block that resulted from a paraffin embedding procedure performed on a formalin fixed tissue specimen. A pooled blood sample that resulted from a mixing procedure performed on several blood samples taken from individual animals. OTHER NAME(S): Biologic specimen; Product specimen.

Any material collected from a biological entity for testing, diagnostic, propagation, treatment, or research purposes.
