BIOBANK

The IdISBa Biobanks and Biomodels Platform is a scientific-technical platform of the Institute that supports Biomedical Research. Its main function is to make human biological samples and their associated clinical data available to the scientific community, always ensuring the rights of donors. These samples are obtained in a standardized way in order to offer a quality service.

IdISBa Biobank is aware of the importance of consolidating a culture of quality in its services and considers it a strategic factor to ensure that the competences, skills and aptitudes of its staff are recognized both by the research community and by society in general.

This commitment to quality is reflected in the ISO 9001:2015 certification achieved in 2022 which guarantees the organization of procedures according to a management system for processes and under a quality policy that aims to ensure maximum user satisfaction, as well as continuous improvement.

The Biobank has been authorized by the Directorate General for Health Research, Teaching and Accreditation of the Government of the Balearic Islands since January 11, 2013, with file number 3409. In addition, it is registered in the National Register of Biobanks with the registration number B.0000527 and is part of the Platform of Biobanks and Biomodels of the Carlos III Institute of Health.
