The CRBIP has a unique position at national and international level, based on the combination of:
The CRBIP biological resources are integrated, processed, characterized, preserved and distributed in compliance with health and environmental biosafety and biosecurity standards and under applicable laws and regulations. Explore our large and diverse curated collections of microbial strains and human biological materials.
More than 15000 quality controled strains of bacteria.
The CRBIP is pleased to announce that the reception of isolates of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb) has started, as part of the ECDC Europe-wide surveys for the surveillance of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria.
These isolates are collected from acute care hospitals in European countries for the ECDC CRAb survey 2024–2025, an activity of the European Antimicrobial Genes Surveillance Network (EURGen-Net).
The CRBIP will performs tests of purity, viability and identity of the received isolates; maintains long-term, safe seed stocks of the isolates; and performs antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST).
We offer wet lab services for different types of biological resources, both microbial and human-origin. We also offer bioinformatics services for microbial resources.
The CRBIP accepts deposits of strains, and offers storage of your valuable or irreplaceable biological materials.
Deposit and SorageProcessing of microbial or human specimens, preparation of molecular or cellular derivatives.
ProcessingAuthentication, quantification, phenotypic characterization, genomic taxonomy services
CharacterizationStrict Quality Assurance is a central part of our strategy. Our Quality Management System covers all biobanking processes and aims at fitness-for-purpose of the biological resources we are making available.
