The absence of biorepositories in these settings can exacerbate this issue. This article documents the physical verification process of biospecimens in the biorepository, connecting them to patient clinical and demographic data and aiding in the planning of future genomic and clinical research studies' experience from the Muhimbili Sickle Cell Program in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The biospecimen database was updated with the current biospecimen position following the physical verification and then mapping this information to its demographic and clinical data using demographic identifiers. The biorepository stored 74,079 biospecimens in three -80°C freezers, including 63,345 from 5159 patients enrolled in the cohort between 2004 and 2016. Patients were identified by a control (first visit), entry (when confirmed sickle cell homozygous), admission (when hospitalized), and follow-up numbers (subsequent visits). Of 63,345 biospecimens, follow-ups were 46,915 (74.06%), control 8067 (12.74%), admission 5517 (8.71%), and entry 2846 (4.49%).

The notable findings during the process include a lack of automated biospecimen checks, laboratory information management system, and tubes with volume calibration; this caused the verification process to be tedious and manual. Biospecimens not linked to clinical and demographic data, date format inconsistencies, and lack of regular updating of a database on exhausted biospecimens and updates when biospecimens are moved between positions within freezers were other findings that were found.

Participants watched the video and completed a purpose-designed online survey. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 16 health professionals (invited = 30) and 15 patients/caregivers (invited = 127) participated. Most patients/caregivers felt informed about the Biobank at consent, however, noted how overwhelmed they were at the time and that they did not engage with the written information. Overall, both patients/caregivers and health professionals rated the video favorably regarding the information provided and format. Participants valued that it was simple and clear, with several health professionals noting the need for linguistic translations to better support the families they work with.

This aligned with the health professionals' feedback that the video was most effective when used as a conversation starter to help formalize the written consent. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Our findings suggest that our video is an acceptable and beneficial tool to assist in the Biobank consenting process, from both the perspective of decision-makers and health professionals obtaining consent.

To better understand the costs and supported outputs that contribute to biobank value, we developed a systematic, generalizable methodology to determine biobank inputs and publications arising from biobank-supported research. We then tested this in a small cohort (n = 12) of academic cancer biobanks in New South Wales, Australia. A proforma was developed to capture monetary and in-kind biobank costing data from biobank managers and publicly available sources. Participating biobanks were grouped and compared according to the following two classifications: open- versus restricted-access and high versus low total annual costs. Our methodology provides a feasible approach for capturing comprehensive costing data for a defined period. Characterization of biobanks using this approach showed that median total costs, as well as median staffing and in-kind costs, were comparable for open- and restricted-access biobanks, as were the quantity and journal impact metrics of supported publications. High- and low-cost biobanks supported similar median numbers of publications; however, high-cost biobanks supported publications with higher median journal impact factor and Altmetric scores. Overall, 9 of 10 biobanks had higher Field-Weighted Citation Impact scores than the global average for similar publications. This is the first tested, generalizable approach to analyze the costs and publications arising from biobank-supported research. By determining explicit cost and output data, academic biobanks, funders, and policymakers can engage in or support informed redirection of resourcing and/or benchmark setting with the aim of improving biobank support of research.","PeriodicalId":55358,"journal":{"name":"Biopreservation and Biobanking","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140652538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improperly stored or handled specimens (e.g., at > -30°C) can result in altered biomolecular compositions that no longer reflects in vivo reality. We report application of a previously developed assay in adults-the ΔS-Cys-Albumin assay, which facilitates estimation of plasma and serum exposure to thawed conditions-to a population of pediatric EDTA plasma samples from patients aged 3-18 years to determine the assay's applicability, estimate its reference range for pediatric samples, and assess the impact of pre-centrifugation delay at 0°C. In addition, the effect of plasma thawed-state exposure to a range of times at 23°C, 4°C, and -20°C on ΔS-Cys-Albumin was evaluated. Using 98 precollected and processed pediatric EDTA plasma specimens, no difference was found in ΔS-Cys-Albumin under conditions of pre-centrifugation delay for up to 10 hours at 0°C. This lack of change allowed us to estimate a pediatric reference range for ΔS-Cys-Albumin of 7.0%-22.5% (mean of 12.8%) with a modest Pearson correlation between ΔS-Cys-Albumin and age (p = 0.0037, R2 = 0.29). ΔS-Cys-Albumin stability in six specimens at 23°C, 4°C, and -20°C was also evaluated. Plateaus in the decay curves were reached by 1 day, 7 days, and 14-28 days at these respective temperatures. The estimated pediatric reference range observed in children was lower than that previously observed in 180 adults of 12.3%-30.6% (mean of 20.0%), and the slope of the age correlation in children was twice as steep as that from adults. ΔS-Cys-Albumin decay curves at 23°C, 4°C, and -20°C were similar to those previously observed in adults. The data reported here support the use of ΔS-Cys-Albumin in evaluating the integrity and overall exposure of pediatric EDTA plasma specimens to thawed conditions.
