CRO BIOBANK Technology Overview CRO-BIOBANK is a large collection of human biological samples and associated information collected in diagnosis and consecutive therapeutical stages for research purposes. Samples, including serum, plasma (EDTA or citrate), buffy-coat, tissue and DNA of healthy individuals and patients (cancer and/or other related pathologies), are collected and stored in compliance with Quality standards. Pharmaceutical industry has new and innovative molecular targets and resources for prevention and personalization of medical treatment.
Advantages √ Long-term source of DNA for genetic studies and
√ √ √ √
materials for biochemical, immunological, and proteomics analysis; Homogeneous and stable samples (standardized collection, process, and storage methods, Quality system); Centralized collections; Statistically significant number of available samples; Standard procedures for samples exchange (MTA).
