A biobank is a physical place which stores laboratory specimens collected by sampling. These samples are stored so that researchers can use them in experiments. This page contains a list of biobanks.

Classification

Biobanks can be classified in several ways. Some examples of how they can be classified is by their controlling entity (government, commercial enterprise, or private research institution), by their geographical location, or by what sorts of samples they collect.[citation needed]
