The process of sample collection and storage in biorepositories involves several steps:
Collection: Samples are collected from patients or donors following ethical guidelines and informed consent. This can include tissue biopsies, blood draws, or other biological materials. Processing: Collected samples are processed to prepare them for storage. This may include fixation, embedding, and sectioning for tissue samples. Storage: Samples are stored in controlled environments, such as -80°C freezers or liquid nitrogen tanks, to maintain their integrity.
