In 2008, United States researchers stored 270 million specimens in biobanks, and the rate of new sample collection was 20 million per year. [11] These numbers represent a fundamental worldwide change in the nature of research between the time when such numbers of samples could not be used and the time when researchers began demanding them.

Also biobanks, which do specimen storage, cannot take full responsibility for specimen integrity, because before they take custody of samples someone must collect and process them and effects such as RNA degradation are more likely to occur from delayed sample processing than inadequate storage.

A biobank is a physical place which stores biological specimens.In some cases, participant data is also collected and stored. Access policies details may vary across biobanks but generally involve obtaining ethics approval from institutional review boards (IRB) and scientific review or peer review approval from the institutions under which the biobanks operate as well as Ethics approval from ...

Among the concerns which participants in biobanks have expressed are giving personal information to researchers and having data used against them somehow. [ 9 ] Scientists have demonstrated that in many cases where participants' names were removed from data, the data still contained enough information to make identification of the participants ...
