The DZNE Biorepository Facility mission is to build a state-of-the-art, automated high-throughput cryopreservation system for biomaterials and to store, organize, harmonize and catalog these biomaterials under optimal conditions. For DZNE researchers, we offer the service of storing human or other biomaterial collections safely and efficiently over a long period of time and, if necessary, shipping or transferring the biomaterials accordingly.
Biomaterials are stored according to Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs), which have been developed by DZNE employees and comply with official guidelines ISO 9001 and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP).
The Biorepository sees itself as a service for the physical storage of biomaterials. The biomaterial extraction, processing and related data protocols are subject to the individual research areas, as well as sample access decisions.
