BBMRI.QM Newsroom: Proficiency Testing in Liquid Biobanking – A versatile tool for the identification of variations in process and sample quality

In the first BBMRI.QM Newsroom of the year, the focus will be on the „Continuous Improvement“ pillar of the BBMRI.QM services, which underpins BBMRI-ERIC’s efforts to enhance quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) measures in biobanks. This pillar aims to ensure that biobanks provide high-quality materials and data for health research.

On 29 April, Sven Heiling from the Integrated Biobank Jena will present on Proficiency Testing in Liquid Biobanking – A versatile tool for the identification of variations in process and sample quality. Proficiency testing is crucial for identifying variations in process and sample quality, especially in the pre-analytical phase. This session will highlight how proficiency testing can help biobanks maintain consistency and reliability, contributing to the continuous improvement of biobanking practices.

Save the date: 29 April and join us to explore this essential topic in biobanking quality management.
