It’s all about sample quality
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.
