This market report summarizes the results of HTStec’s industry–wide global web-based benchmarking survey on automated biobanking carried out in November 2008. The main objectives were to comprehensively document changes in current interest in automated biobanking since the 2006 survey.

The survey looked at aspects of biobanking as practiced today (2008) and predicted (2010). The subjects investigated included the use of an ad hoc collection of refrigerators and/or freezers for biological sample storage, interest in automated biobanking; time frame and automated biological storage requirements; current access to an automated biological sample store; type of biological material planned to store; desired storage temperature and certain key temperatures; preferred storage containers to be used along with maximum sample storage capacity; familiarity and interest in LIMS systems; requirement for an analytical/sample processing instrument to be connected to an automated biobank; budget status; reasonable cost and price points where biobanking automation becomes financially unattractive.
