total market. Over the course of the forecast period, Germany will gradually lose market share, on
account of higher levels of growth in the emerging markets.
Germany has a high number of biobanks, 74 of which are associated with the BBMRI. Germany is
the leading European country in terms of biobank networking. This will be an important driver of
growth during the forecast period. Additionally, there is strong demand for stem cell banking
services for therapeutic use, another major growth driver. Reportedly, Germany was one of the first
countries to regulate stem cell banking under strict principles. These principles were later
incorporated into EU regulation. The early establishment of Germany’s stem cell banking market
means public awareness is higher, driving growth in the industry. The combination of these factors
will result in strong growth in the German biobanking industry during the forecast period (Figure
6.10).

KORAgen and Popgen are reportedly the largest DNA biobanks in Germany. They were developed
within the National Genome Research Network (NGFN) and funded by public fund. The objective
of KORAgen is to find the genetic markers for heart diseases and to to date has collected samples
from 18,000 donors. Popgen or population genetics project aim to analyze multiple risk factors of
diseases, such as cardiac arrest or gallstones by looking at the interplay between environmental
factors and genetic background. The project has collected up to 26,000 DNA samples. Another
biobank in large scope is the Danubian Biobank Consortium, which brings together a number of
universities along the Danube river to work together through a virtual network dedicated to
research in age-related diseases. This consortium has collected 160,000 blood samples.

storage reagents. Also, there has been use of plates to store samples, where samples are frozen
together in a batch and to access any one of them all samples are exposed to freeze-thaw cycles.
This has been seen to be detrimental to sample integrity.
Several vendors supplying consumables such as Thermo Scientific, Micronic, and TAP have now
come up with solutions to overcome this challenge and make sample tracking easier and more
efficient. For example, both Thermo Scientific and Micronic provide sample storage tubes with
laser encrypted 2D barcodes at the bottom of the tubes, which can be read using automated
scanners or are even readable by eye. Laser encryption ensures their long-term stability and the
unique 2D coding system format ensures selection of correct samples. The use of storage tubes
instead of plates also provides a solution to preserve sample integrity at the time of retrieval.
Uniquely labelled storage tubes can allow selection of individual samples, instead of entire plates
containing the particular sample of interest and samples not required.
Another challenge in sample management, while working with large number of samples at a time,
is to prevent cross-contamination. To overcome this challenge, vendors now provide tubes with
special sealing systems. One such example is Thermo Scientific's range of septum plugs, which
are pierceable with pipetting equipment more than 200 times.
Thus, the vendors of systems and consumables to the biobanking market are continuously
evolving and developing the technology to overcome specific challenges faced with the biobanking
market.
7.6 Biobanking Services: Storage, Management and Transport of
Biologic Samples for a Fee
Several services related to storing and managing of biological samples are offered by some
companies. The services provided to the biobanks include the following:
• Sample storage/biorepository facility
• Sample collection
• Processing
• Testing
• Transportation
• Relocation.
Several biopharmaceutical companies, research laboratories, CROs, and academic institutes
make use of these services. The most commonly used of these services is the sample storage, as
