Area of Science:

Biobanking and translational research
Biospecimen management and quality control

Background:

Biobanking involves collecting, processing, storing, and disseminating biological samples.
Evidence-based practices in biospecimen research are critical for successful biobanking and translational research.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the importance of biospecimen methods research for biobanking.
To discuss the need for evidence-based practices in biobanking.
To address the current state and future directions of biospecimen research.

Main Methods:

Literature review of biospecimen research data.
Analysis of existing practices and knowledge in biospecimen collection.
Identification of areas of agreement and controversy in biospecimen research.

Main Results:

Researchers are aware of pre-analytical variables but this knowledge is often not applied in clinical settings.
There is agreement on the need for evidence-based practices for consistent biospecimen quality.
Disagreement exists on whether a 'platinum' standard or 'fit-for-purpose' local standards are sufficient.

Conclusions:

International efforts are needed to harmonize biospecimen management practices.
Continued biospecimen methods research is essential for developing evidence-based practices.
Evidence-based practices are critical for advancing translational research and personalized medicine.
