Bio bank is the storage place for all living samples and it not only stores the biological samples of humans but also contains the plants and animal samples. Biobank collects the biological materials from different locations, stores it in the optimal conditions and distributes it to the required places. All the samples are tested with accurate ratio of aliquot and the results are evaluated in a systemic manner. Biological specimens such as blood and DNA are collected from a large number of people and aliquoting is done with the samples. The result yields the genetic information of the people and it is a record for the life style of various people.
The biorepository is a place that stands as an evidence for the growth and advancement of medical science. Varied types of stored samples are found here. The sample includes blood, whole blood, DNA, samples for forensic purpose, antibodies, allograft, urine, pathology specimens, zoological resources and many more. Sample tracking of all the stored samples is done to maintain the integrity of these valuable samples. A facility for both short term and long term storage is available and sample destruction is also done by the bio bank if the sample is no longer needed.
