Biobanking Enables Confidential Storage Of Donors And Sample Records
Monday, May 24th, 2010
There are many types of bio samples which are stored for future reference or research and to enable future use of the sample it has to be stored in a way so that it doesn’t get damaged or deteriorated in order to stay for a long period. And aliquoting ensures you from the beginning like proper handling of your cold chain management until storing them in an archive of samples where you can easily access the information related to that particular sample. There might be some samples which has to be stored confidentially so that it doesn’t leaks out the info about donors and type of sample along with its records. Samples like personal body fluids, sperm etc. has to be maintained confidentially and secretly without which it might get into wrong hands. Thus proper aliquoting and biological sample management the confidentiality of the sample thus stored will remain intact until its rightful owner comes for an access for either research or for the records. For sensitive samples storing the records of donor secretly is more important than storing the sample to prevent any kind of info about the donor from leaking out. Thus it enables confidential storage of sample and donors’ records with due care for the sample.
