The Gazel cohort was launched in January 1989 among workers of the French national electricity and gas company to form an open and general purpose epidemiological laboratory. More than 20.000 workers (15.000 men, 5.000 women), aged from 35 to 50 volunteered to participate. One of the objectives of this cohort was the constitution of a bank of biological material aiming to collect and preserve various biological samples (serum, plasma, DNA, etc). This paper details the organisation of the bank and presents a feasability study concerning 2.000 volunteers.
加泽尔队列研究于1989年1月在法国国家电力和天然气公司的员工中启动，旨在建立一个开放的通用流行病学实验室。20000多名年龄在35至50岁之间的员工（15000名男性，5000名女性）自愿参与。该队列研究的目标之一是建立一个生物样本库，旨在收集和保存各种生物样本（血清、血浆、DNA等）。本文详细介绍了样本库的组织情况，并针对2000名志愿者进行了可行性研究。
