Face-to-face course on the different systems of preservation of existing biological samples and the security measures necessary to guarantee the quality of the samples preserved for diagnostics and/or research.

At the end of the course, the student knows the theoretical and practical bases of the conservation facilities and equipment that maintain and guarantee the quality of the samples housed in the SSPA Biobank facilities and the operation of a sample conservation unit and facilities that compose it.

With the scheduled activity, students attending the course will be able to actively participate by exposing the problems and doubts that they may have based on their own personal experience.
