Process flow: From the SAS to a Quality Label in the BBMRI-ERIC Directory

Step 2: Request a BBMRI-ERIC audit
Step 3: A positive audit will lead to a Quality Label in the Directory
Task Force to define and provide biomarkers (intrinsic/extrinsic) that allow for standardized assessment of sample quality with a focus on liquid biopsies) through biospecimen research.
If we want researchers to be able to produce reliable findings, we need to make sure that they have access to high-quality samples. As a European research infrastructure, our ultimate goal is to make samples comparable across different countries and different biobanking systems. To that end, BBMRI-ERIC provides a range of quality management services catering to different needs.
We are well aware that although all our partner biobanks strive to improve their quality management systems, not all of them might have the resources to obtain a certificate from an accredited certification body. This is where BBMRI-ERIC comes into play. Our quality management services are designed to guide biobanks and laboratories step by step towards excellence.
