BBM stores samples and archives the accompanying data according to valid standard operating procedures (SOPs). The main goal is to maintain high quality samples. Individual storage data (number of aliquots, position in the appropriate storage device) are recorded in the BBM database.

BBM uses the following storage methods:

• Storage in freezers at -80 ° C (blood, serum, plasma, peripheral blood DNA, tissue samples in RNA later)
• Storage in vapor of liquid nitrogen at -156 ° C (tissue samples)
