The New Oslo PSC Biobank is a cutting-edge facility that centralizes clinical and research biobanking, utilizing broad consent to ensure comprehensive coverage for diverse biological materials and clinical data. It stores various samples including DNA, RNA, serum, plasma, and fresh tissues, all maintained under strict SOPs and regular quality control. Innovative barcode inventory and integrated databases enhance tracking and accessibility. This biobank supports epidemiological studies, disease-oriented research, and biomarker discovery in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and associated conditions.

Biobanks ? • Population banks • Biomarkers of susceptibility and population identity, and their operational substrate is germinal-line DNA from a huge number of healthy donors, representative of a concrete country/region or ethnic cohort • Disease-oriented banks for epidemiology • Biomarkers of exposure, using a huge number of samples, usually following a healthy exposed cohort/ case–control design studying germinal-line DNA or serum markers and a great amount of specifically designed and collected data. • Disease-oriented general biobanks (i.e. tumour banks) • Biomarkers of disease through prospective and/or retrospective collections of tumour and no-tumour samples and their derivates (DNA/RNA/ proteins), usually associated to clinical data and sometimes associated to clinical trials. • The amount of clinical data linked to the sample determinate the availability and biological value of the sample Norsk senter for PSC
