Beginning with a stripped-back shell, the facility underwent a meticulous development process to transform it into a state-of-the-art biobanking centre. Each stage of the build has been carefully documented, from the installation of precision-controlled storage units to the implementation of secure sample handling and tracking systems. This phased development reflects BioGrad’s dedication to quality, compliance, and scientific excellence, ensuring the biobank and laboratories meets the highest international standards for sample preservation and research support.
