Advantages of biobanks

Biobanks store samples in deep-freeze units at -80 degrees Celsius or at approx. -165 degrees Celsius in the gas phase of liquid nitrogen and monitor them around the clock. If a cooling element fails, an emergency plan takes effect immediately.

Biobank and quality management experts, IT specialists and specially trained technical staff ensure that the samples are processed, stored and released in the highest quality. Incoming samples are automatically registered, coded and usually processed further with the help of robots. Robots also take care of the automated storage and retrieval of biosamples from the deep-freeze warehouses.

Their high level of professionalism makes centralised biobanks competent, reliable advisory and service facilities for doctors and researchers.
