Request for a deposit

A request can be made to deposit samples in the biobank; this can be done for several reasons including: recruitment of samples with quality guarantees, collaborations with other researchers, the benefits of strict adherence to legal and safety regulations or simply to store samples that you will not use.

There are several ways to deposit samples in the biobanc, always with the informe consent from the patient:

  • Surplus from a research project
  • Surplus from diagnostics
  • Recruitment of samples using Biobank circuit
  • Deposits of pre-existing collections or historical collections

To initiate deposits or sample recruitment please contact the Central Node of the Biobank first at biobanc(ELIMINAR)@igtp.cat

The procedure for the deposit of samples or collections of samples (or small biobanks) has three stages:

  1. Request form
  2. Processing
  3. Resolution of request

The objective is to guarantee that the samples meet all quality controls and meet all legal requirements
