All these tasks, however, critically depend upon theavailability of a large number of standardizedspecimens at the point that many research activitiesare seriously invalidated by the heterogeneous qualityof the human specimens used. In particular, pre-
Repository banks for biological samples are defined as oper ational units that provide a servicefor the storage and management of biological material and as sociated clinical data. These, ifproperly complemented with dietary assessment of food and n utrient intake, may offer uniqueopportunities to investigate the relationships between di et, nutritional status, lifestyle andenvironmental factors and the incidence of several disease s, as in the case of the EPIC studyheld within the framework of the European network of Biobank s BBMRI.
In the BioBIM the possibility togain exhaustive records onthe whole life cycle of biobankstored samples and theirquality has been achieved bymeans of RFID tag technology

of the human specimens used. In particular, pre-analytical variations render the results derived fromspecimen of different biobanks and, often, within thesame biobank, incomparable. Thus, the need toeliminate, as much as possible, all variables arisingfrom specimen collection, preparation or storage, inorder to guarantee that the distributed samples meetthe required specifications. This would ultimatelypreserve the accuracy, reproducibility and compara-bility of results among different research groups.
means of RFID tag technologyand of standard pre-analyticalcoding system (SPREC code).Moreover, thanks to aBusiness Intelligence platformand Service OrientedArchitectures, the BioBIM iscurrently involved in a multi-institutional biobankingnetwork of reference withinthe southern Italy aimed atdefining common preanalyticalprocedures to standardizebiospecimen collection andpreservation, identifying a setof “key biomarkers” to be usedin assessing sample qualityand strengthening of thescientific value of biologicalcollections within the network.
The BioBIM ProjectThe BioBIM (Interinstitutional Multidisciplinary Biobank, IRCCSSan Raffaele Pisana, Rome) is an interinstitutional center thatpromotes participation of peripheral health structures that do nothave biobanking infrastructures. The structural characteristics,organization and management of the BioBIM allows thedevelopment of its research potential in a shorter time than asingle institution. Moreover, the participation of various centerswith diversified health care expertise, determines themultidisciplinary nature of the collection and the ability to create/develop a network of multicentric and multidisciplinary Institutes.
