Photon transmission tomography techniques for screening organs in biological specimen banking

Science of The Total Environment, 1993
Biological specimen banking methodology dictates that when a number of specimens of a particular type are available then the selected specimen be representative of the population in question. It is apparent though that this sorting process may present a formidable task which can be facilitated by employing tomographic transmission techniques using ...

Combining chemical and biological endpoints, a major challenge for twenty-first century’s environmental specimen banks

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2014
Environmental specimen banks (ESBs) are not a new phenomenon, but in the last decades, the steep rate in the establishment of new ESBs is a sign to address new research approaches for scientists. In this way, environmental biobanking is becoming a well-organized and effective vehicle to collect samples of high quality making them available for future ...

General Aspects of Monitoring and Banking of Human Biological Specimens

1984
Ever since the industrial revolution, man has been subjecting the earth’s biosphere to an increasing variety of chemical insults. Some, such as naturally-occurring toxic elements and compounds, are reentering the environment via industrial processes at rates much greater than their natural degradation or removal from the biosphere; other hazardous ...

Nordic biological specimen banks as basis for studies of cancer causes and control – more than 2 million sample donors, 25 million person years and 100 000 prospective cancers

Acta Oncologica, 2007
The Nordic countries have a long tradition of large-scale biobanking and comprehensive, population-based health data registries linkable on unique personal identifiers, enabling follow-up studies spanning many decades. Joint Nordic biobank-based studies provide unique opportunities for longitudinal molecular epidemiological research. The purpose of the

Analytical and biological data of banked samples — a requirement to interpret accumulation and leaching of pollutants in biological specimens

Science of The Total Environment, 1993
The accumulation of organic and inorganic pollutants in biological specimens depends, in many cases, not only on the atmospheric deposition or immission and contamination of the biotop, but also on the dynamic properties of the indicator. Thus the analytical data assume properties of process variables.

[What are the requirements for establishing a biological specimen bank?].

Ugeskrift for laeger, 2003
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 program for storage of biologically banked blood specimens in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study.

Cancer epidemiology, biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research, cosponsored by the American Society of Preventive Oncology, 1998
A biological bank has been developed to extend the biochemical and molecular research base for a prospective study on diet and cancer in the city of Malmo, Sweden. The study entered individuals 45-69 years of age, of which 30,382 individuals (45%) participated. Each individual entering the bank has stored samples of viable mononuclear leukocytes (MNLs;

[Biological specimen banks: epidemiological tools and scientific enterprises].

Epidemiologia e prevenzione, 2003
In the last twenty years many large epidemiological studies have made efforts to collect material for biological specimen banks. These banks contain samples collected for short or long-term cryopreservation at low (e.g. -70 degrees C) or very low (-192 degrees C).
