The quality of human biospecimens and their associated data is of paramount importance to achieve reliable and reproducible results in biomedical research. To ensure this, all sub-processes within biobanks must be traceable and documented. A biobank therefore requires a quality management system.
In cooperation with the BioMaterialBank Heidelberg (BMBH) and the Integrated Biobank Jena (IBBJ), the GBN supports biobanks with a comprehensive quality programme. This programme is divided into four areas: quality assurance, audits, training and service.
The following video shows how the GBN quality programme prepares biobanks for accreditation according to DIN EN ISO 20387 (Biotechnology – Biobanking – General requirements for biobanks) and the experiences of the participants.
