Liquid handlers for the National Biobank laboratory

Statens Serum Institut

A National Biobank (NBB) will be build at Statens Serum Institut in 2011. The aim of this biobank establishment is to provide Danish and foreign scientists with a unique overview of, and access to more than 15-20 million biological samples in existing, as well as future collections, and to develop a platform where biological specimens from an individual may be linked with the extensive amount of other information on.
e.g. health, familial relations, and other demographics stored in the Danish national registries.
A web-based interface will allow researchers all over the world to obtain information on what biological specimens are available and assist scientist in obtaining access to biological materials needed for their particular project.
At the same time, this new biobank will secure optimal facilities for continued storage of incoming samples to the national laboratory at Statens Serum Institut, both for research and for clinical purposes. In addition, a variety of other research projects will use the national biobank as there storage facility.
There will be a flow of samples in and out of the biobank, and we will need to distribute samples between various primary tube formats, 2D barcode Biobank tubes in 96-well racks and various microtiter plates using liquid handlers. These should be able to, read both 1D and 2D barcodes on the various tubes and plates, to normalize the samples and to replicate plates in a 96-channel format. Furthermore, we will need to distribute samples from a 96-well format to 384-well plates.
As SSI is serving as a national laboratory for a wide spectrum of biological analyses during its more than 100-year history, Statens Serum Institut has this large and continuously growing collection of biological samples, most recently estimated to exceed 5 500 000 samples, including the National Birth Cohort Biobank and the neonatal Guthrie card register (PKU-register) of close to 2 000 000 samples. Many of the large collections are not optimally stored and currently not readily accessible to researchers. To preserve and optimize the use of these collections of national significance, we aim to establish the NBB equipped with robotic state-of-the-art intelligent sub-zero storage facilities. The NBB facility will be built at Statens Serum Institut to house this national treasure of more than 5.5 million biospecimens as well as future biological materials. It will contain a walk-in freeze store room, two automated sample storage systems at -20C and -80C, respectively, as well as large storage rooms for standing regular −80º C freezers, and for liquid nitrogen containers.
The NBB wishes to explore within the market the availability of fully automated liquid handlers for a range of applications.
