Med Uni Wien Biobank and Biobank Graz, both part of BBMRI.at, have recently evaluated additional sample collections using the BBMRI-ERIC Self-Assessment Survey for biobanks. The Self-Assessment Survey is an online tool that allows biobankers to check if their sample collections meet European quality standards according to the CEN Technical Specifications.
Users can choose to submit their results, meaning that their collections will be flagged in the BBMRI-ERIC biobank catalogue – the Directory – if they meet the quality requirements.
