Abstract

Establishing of a biological bank requires consideration. Optimal location of the bank for handling of the samples and quick response to alarms are essential. Decisions about freezer system (electrical or liquid nitrogen container), how to store the biological material (tubes or straws) as well as proper labelling of the samples are important. Quality control must be considered to monitor possible degradation over time.
