BEST PRACTICE GUIDELINES FOR MARINE BIOBANKS

Implementation of Best Practice Guidelines for marine biobanks.

Standardized procedures will be implemented by all biobanks for supplying samples of MBRs and associated information to third parties, ensuring its traceability and compliance with ABS regulations. Guidelines include material accession forms for deposition of new material in biobanks, Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) and a uniform identification system for samples to facilitate tracking of all material and its use.
