Critical Success Factors for Sample Collection

Biobanks, or biorepositories, store biological samples that are critical for research in the biomedical fields. Samples from biobanks have been used for genomics research, investigations into the development of personalized medicine, and treatment of diseases.

After obtaining precious specimens, it is important to not only store them for easy retrieval, but is also vital to treat the samples so there are no complications for downstream uses. Tissues, blood, and cells all have unique requirements for maintaining specimen integrity.
