Services

The LUMC Biobank Facility stores over half a million specimen of body material for nearly every department of the LUMC, encompassing almost 150 biobank collections. We store all types of body materials such blood derivatives, faeces, urine, salvia, check and nasal mucus (swabs), cerebrospinal fluid, and tissue samples (e.g. biopsies, surgical leftover material).

If you consider starting a biobank collection for a specific disease and/or disease group, if a biobank collection is part of your WMO-study, or if you would like to start a multi-center biobank collection, please contact us.

External researchers may request human body material and/or data that is stored by the LUMC Biobank Facility, as part of a collaboration with a LUMC researcher. Responsibility for the human body material and/or data remains with the LUMC researcher, whereby donors’ privacy is guaranteed. Please contact the LUMC Biobank Facility when you would like to use material/data: Biobankorganisatie@lumc.nl.

For further questions regarding the LUMC Biobank Facility; set-up, distribution, advice about rules and regulations or collaborations, please contact us.

We offer consultancy regarding integration of scientific research within regular care to reduce registration burden and enhance efficiency.
