Workshop description

Sample management and storage is one of the most important steps in every project that entails information gathering for student and research projects. Sample management is completely different depending on the research question and on the resources available. Therefore, standardization of the techniques used is and will be of utmost importance for students working within GLACIER-associated projects.

Output

Participants will be qualified for handling samples during and after collection. They will know how to label samples, how to store them and how to take them to the laboratory. It is our goal to ensure all participants gain the necessary skills to meet international sampling requirements and are able to work in accordance with German institutions’ standards and protocols.

One of the workshop’s objectives is to produce standardized procedures for sample management and storage for animal, plant and bioethical-importance resources.
