Biological Samples

In recent years researchers have achieved considerable scientific breakthroughs and technological advances in all natural sciences, especially in life sciences. Despite the efforts to imitate and recreate biological systems, products directly derived from living organisms are still irreplaceable in research. Immortalized cell lines, bacterial and yeast strains are the backbone of modern molecular biology and medical research. Biological specimen like blood and blood-derived products, lysates, nucleic acids as well as tissue samples serve as controls and research objects in various experiments and clinical tests.
