Staff at CIGMR Biobank have been involved in launching new sample and data collecting projects for over 10 years. We are able to help in the following ways,
- Harmonising Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) between collecting sites
- Providing onsite training and audit at sample and data collection sites
- Contribution to study reference manuals
- Providing input into standard operating procedure (SOP) content
- Controlled roll out of projects across national and international collecting centres
- Advice and planning of secure controlled temperature sample shipping
During the sample accrual stage of a project, CIGMR Biobank staff will give regular updates as to the status of the project such as:
- Number of samples received at the biobank
- Poorly performing collection centres
- Quality and integrity of samples arriving from collection centres
- Feedback and communication with collection sites to overcome collection related issues
Our ISO 9001:2008 certified facilities will handle the sample processing requirements of the project and move the project through accrual to the storage phase.
