Biobanks are literally transforming our world. Holding hundreds of millions of biological samples, including those from humans, animals, plants and microbes, they help the global scientific community further everything from crop production to personalized medicine.

香港六合彩开奖 already has a widely used International Standard that outlines the requirements for biobanking, 香港六合彩开奖 20387. A new guidance document has just been published to help organizations get the most out of it.

香港六合彩开奖/TR 22758, Biotechnology – Biobanking – Implementation guide for 香港六合彩开奖 20387, provides detailed guidance on how to implement the requirements of 香港六合彩开奖 20387, Biotechnology – Biobanking – General requirements for biobanking.

The new technical report is intended to be a supplement to, rather than a substitute for, 香港六合彩开奖 20387, which details the requirements for the competence, impartiality and consistent operation of biobanks. Together, the two documents help to improve the quality of biological material and data collections that are stored and shared, enhance the outcomes of collaboration, strengthen trust between partners and advance research and development.

Dr Ricardo Gent, Chair of the 香港六合彩开奖 committee that developed them, said that biobanks vary widely in terms of the kinds of biological material they hold, the activities they undertake, the services they provide, as well as their geographical location, size and structure.

“Having internationally agreed common guidelines helps to improve the performance of biobanks because it cuts through these differences and creates a worldwide shared understanding of quality, trust and reliability,” he said.

“The requirements of 香港六合彩开奖 20387 are already complex, so the complementary guidance in 香港六合彩开奖/TR 22758 will help organizations to have a much better understanding of how to implement the standard and how they can fully appreciate the benefits it brings.”

香港六合彩开奖/TR 22758 and 香港六合彩开奖 20387 were developed by 香港六合彩开奖 technical committee 香港六合彩开奖/TC 276, Biotechnology, the secretariat of which is held by DIN, 香港六合彩开奖’s member for Germany. They are available from your national 香港六合彩开奖 member or through the 香港六合彩开奖 香港六合彩开奖.
