Frequently Asked Questions
What is biobanking, and why is it important?
Biobanking is the process of collecting, storing, and managing biological samples, such as blood, tissue, DNA, and other materials, for research and clinical purposes. It plays a crucial role in advancing medical research, understanding diseases, and developing new therapies by providing high-quality specimens for study.
What types of samples are stored in a biobank??
Biobanks store a variety of biological samples, including blood, plasma, serum, urine, saliva, tissue biopsies, DNA/RNA, and cell lines. These samples are often linked to patient data, such as medical history and demographics, to provide context for research.
How are biobank samples preserved and maintained?
Biobank samples are preserved using advanced storage techniques such as cryopreservation, freezing at ultra-low temperatures, or lyophilization (freeze-drying). Strict protocols and quality control measures ensure sample integrity over long periods.
Who uses biobanking services, and for what purposes?
Biobanking services are used by researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare institutions for purposes like disease research, drug development, personalized medicine, and epidemiological studies. Biobanks also support clinical trials by providing reliable biological materials.
