Webinar overview
“Biobanks have played a key role in the fight against Covid-19 by allowing researchers to access the samples they needed to study the disease and develop vaccines and treatments. While the pandemic presented a big challenge to the often-underfunded biobanks, it also provided an opportunity for growth in many other areas of research going forward.” (Carlos de Rojas, July 12, 2021, The Hidden Role of Biobanks in Covid-19 Research)
In achieving research growth, today’s Biobanks face ever increasing challenges in the form of more precise and consistent quality control, the need for training and streamlining of operations to produce that quality control, and the need for new revenue streams to support these enhanced operations. With Bruker's high-performance scientific instruments* and high-value analytical solutions, we are enabling Biobanks to breakthrough these barriers with a novel application that augments sample quality/validation, streamlines QC operations via automation, and provides a new Biobank revenue stream.
