Quality research samples are the bedrock of scientific investigations in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. Whether you're exploring new drugs, uncovering biomarkers, or studying disease mechanisms, the reliability and integrity of your samples are paramount. Here’s an outline of the ten essential steps for obtaining top-notch research samples that meet the stringent standards demanded by researchers in these fields.
In the fast-paced world of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, access to high-quality biospecimens is vital for research and development. Whether you're working on drug discovery, biomarker identification, or personalized medicine, the source and quality of your biospecimens can significantly impact the reliability and success of your projects. To ensure you're partnering with the right biospecimen provider, here are seven crucial questions to ask:

You know that awkward lingering question that comes out fast when you meet new people; “So, what do you do?” I think I have answered that over 1,000 different ways over the 7 years I have worked at ABS, doing so with a big smile as I explain my role as Biospecimen Operations Manager. I don’t just show up to work. I come to work to get important, productive responsibilities accomplished. I am a curious person which is why I chose biotechnology as my major in college. I like to ask questions and enjoy a challenge. I am fortunate that my position fits me perfectly. I could list my job description and responsibilities to give an idea of what I do. But that is not how I describe what I do. I get to accomplish so many different assignments.
