As the demand for biospecimens continues to increase, biorepositories must develop strategies to optimize utility, efficiency, and scope of their biosample collections. Modern technology solutions must not only address sample tracking and annotation but also enable sample sharing wherever possible. How can this be implemented? Biorepositories and Biobanks Modernized Research Strategies Once upon a time, […]

Modern biomedical research relies on a large variety of high quality biospecimens, annotated with precise and detailed metadata. Consequently, biorepositories must secure, and convey to their customers, excellence in all of their operations. Enter two biobanking accreditation and certification programs that include external review. Ensuring High-Quality Data from Biobanked Samples Garbage in, garbage out. In all scientific research, this is […]
