High-Quality Biosamples for Research Excellence
Located at the M3 research center, the centralized biobank of the Medical Faculty Tübingen is being developed to support researchers with high-quality, standardized biosamples. Human and animal specimens are processed and stored under optimized, quality-controlled conditions, serving the full range of research areas at MFT and UKT.

Implementation Status
- The Core Facility Biobank is currently under construction. Initially, a requirements assessment under involvement of the whole professorate at the MFT was carried out. You can find the results from the requirements assessment survey in our Just Social. The results from this assessment then are translated into the plan for a pilot phase. First samples from research will presumably be accepted by beginning of 2027.

Equipment
The heart of the biobank will be the fully automated -80 degree ultra-low temperature storage system, which can store two million samples at the same time. Compared to the use of conventional ultra-low temperature freezers, the larger unit saves both personnel resources and energy. In addition of handling samples, the Core Facility Biobank will also provide scientific advice on the use of samples.
