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

Biological specimen bank for smelter workers

Science of The Total Environment, 1993
The biological specimen bank was initiated by the department of Environmental Medicine and the department of Medicine at the University of Umeå in 1975. The aims of the bank are to collect information on trace elements in human organs. Special attention is focused on the influence of occupational exposure. Tissue samples are taken from deceased workers

Biological environmental specimen banking in Slovakia

Science of The Total Environment, 1993
Biological environmental specimens, including samples of human tissues, were stored for 5-10 years after solubilizing by mineralization in boiling nitric acid. The sampling procedure, transport treatment and storing was standardized. Documentation identifying the sample and its origin were used.

Canada's national aquatic biological specimen bank and database

Journal of Great Lakes Research, 2010
Long-term systematic storage of environmental specimens has become an important component of formal environmental monitoring programs in many countries. In 1977, the Contaminants Surveillance Program (CSP) began in the Great Lakes Basin. In support of the CSP, Fisheries and Oceans Canada began archiving fish tissue samples and created the Great Lakes ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
