The EPAD Bioresource consists of over 100,000 samples consisting of blood, CSF, saliva and urine that have been collected annually from research participants throughout their participation in the Longitudinal Cohort Study. The samples are stored in -20°C, -80°C or -150°C freezers as appropriate at the EPAD Bioresource facility located at the Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh. The Bioresource team utilizes a bespoke lab database and information management system that provides traceability and sample validation at every stage along the sample pathway, from collection, processing, storage and release for research.
