QM Newsroom: Getting a Biobank “Fit for Blackout”

In recent years, the topic of blackouts has increasingly captured public attention. An expert from BBMRI.at partner Biobank Graz provides insights in a BBMRI-ERIC seminar how to prepare the biobank to be “fit for blackout”.

During the seminar, Petra Tauscher discusses the importance of scrutinizing a biobank´s infrastructure, including defining the critical infrastructure needed to maintain sample storage and personnel safety (e.g. refrigerated storage systems and safety related systems like gas leak detectors) and evaluating the effectiveness of the available emergency power supply.
