Build vs.
Outsource
Considerations for deciding to build biostorage capacity in-house versus outsourcing with a trusted partner.
With the increasing value of biological samples and treatment assets, researchers are realizing the importance of centralized biobanking. Whether insourcing on-campus facilities or outsourcing biostorage services, the following investments must be considered:
- Building specialized, secure facilities with dedicated, scalable storage space
- Purchasing state-of-the-art equipment
- Creating global sample management systems
- Establishing reliable cold chain logistics to transport, handle and process samples between facilities
- Hiring personnel with specialized expertise needed to effectively operate biorepositories
- Maintaining staff training, certifications and accreditations
- Validating equipment, technology and processes
- Developing and maintaining SOPs, global compliance and business continuity plans
- Managing global logistics associated with sample centralization
