A biobank is generally in an international setting considered as a sample collection with linked data. In Sweden we have a lot of sample collections, but the definition of a biobank has changed, and it has become an organization that administrates many sample collections as well as an infrastructure to support research. Uppsala Biobank was started in September 2008 as a joint biobank organization between Uppsala County Council and Uppsala University. At the start there were 138 registered biobanks in Uppsala for these two principals. The decision was to have only one biobank, where all previous biobanks would be transformed to be sample collections. Uppsala Biobank has gone from the wish to centralize biobanking administration to be a research infrastructure, a national model for hospital-integrated biobanking, a support structure for biobanking activities in the health care region, and the local competence center for all biobank issues in Uppsala.
生物银行通常在国际环境中被视为附有相关数据的样本集。在瑞典，我们有很多样本集，但生物银行的定义已经发生了变化，它已经成为一个管理许多样本集以及支持研究的基础设施的组织。乌普萨拉生物银行于 2008 年 9 月成立，是乌普萨拉郡议会和乌普萨拉大学之间的一个联合生物银行组织。最初，这两个主要机构有 138 个已注册的生物银行。决定只有一个生物银行，所有以前的生物银行都将转变为样本集。乌普萨拉生物银行已经从集中生物银行管理的愿望转变为研究基础设施，成为医院整合生物银行的国家模式，为医疗保健区域的生物银行活动提供支持结构，以及乌普萨拉所有生物银行问题的地方能力中心。
