Advancements in Processing That Optimize Samples for Future Research

摘要

Many factors contribute to the quality of biospecimen collections, and most are not mutually exclusive. How we assess the value of a biosample at the time of collection may be very different from at the time of analysis, which can be (and often is) anevent in the distant future.To helpensurequality and create a sample resource that is not easily depleted, both novice and experienced "biobankers" can follow some general sample life-cycle management principles to retain the maximum value of their collections.
