What is a biobank? What is a sample donation? And why should patients agree to such a donation, for example after an operation? In order to inform patients about biobanking and to motivate them to provide biospecimens for medical research, the Hannover Unified Biobank has created an information film in cooperation with the German Biobank Node (GBN) and Biobank Graz. The animated film explains the entire biobanking process in a comprehensible way, starting with patient education in the hospital, through sample collection to storage of the samples in the biobank and their subsequent use for research. It provides exciting insights into the work of a biobank behind the scenes.
