Biobank Haukeland is a collaboration between Haukeland University Hospital and the University of Bergen. The primary goal for Biobank Haukeland is increased research quality for the two institutions.
Biobank Haukeland has procured an automatic storage facility for research samples, with a capacity of storing 2.5 million biobank tubes. Biobank Haukeland will be in operation in February 2018.
All sample material stored in Biobank Haukeland will be registered in LabVantage. LabVantage is a laboratory information management system for research samples procured by Helse Vest.
The users of Biobank Haukeland must pay for deposit and withdrawal of research samples, in addition to yearly rent. The project is not yet closed, and the presented prices are therefore estimated based on the current cost estimate. Price changes may therefore occur.
Inquiries can be directed to the head of Biobank Haukeland, Ann Cathrine Kroksveen PhD.
