Working with quality management is not just documentation; its main pillar is to work in an environment of change and seek continuous improvement. How do we build our organization around quality and how do we find motivation within the organization to achieve higher quality? And who is quality for?
In this workshop, we will discuss how biobanks can work with continuous improvement, with customer needs (fitness for intended purpose) in mind, by giving examples from the implementation of ISO20387:2018 Biotechnology –Biobanking- General requirements for biobanking. By the end of the workshop, we aim to have status of where the Nordic countries are today, how we can collaborate, and which direction we would like to head.

For many biobanks, financing, and installation of automated storage solutions at ultralow temperatures have been a clear challenge. It can certainly boost the quality and through-put of biobank performances but has equally created frustrations and set-backs related to unstable operational situations.
What is the rational for the selected temperature for storage? Is – 80 still a challenge for the applied technologies? Is there a compelling scientific justification for choosing – 80 and not -70 and could a slight raise of temperature improve the operational stability.
Costly and unstable technological solutions have a clear effect on running costs and ultimately on biobank sustainability. What are the environmental issues to be considered?
In this workshop we will address these questions, both form a provider and a user perspective. We will also touch upon challenges with established stores in the Nordic countries, including services and maintenance during the recent pandemic.

Education is important, in biobanking and everywhere else. In biobanking, much education and training take place in front of an instrument or freezer, and is taught by the nearest co-worker or local super user. There are, however, also a number of courses for biobankers dealing with topics such as sample quality, ethical and legal perspectives, laboratory management and research perspectives. In this workshop we will hear from organisers of Nordic biobank courses and expand to European options.
