Genetic Biobank Lab Build-Outs
Infrastructure for Long-Term Genetic Sample Storage & Research Support
Precision Lab Builds designs genetic biobank laboratory build-outs for healthcare organizations, research institutions, and genomics programs that require secure, compliant storage and management of biological specimens for genetic and genomic use.
Genetic biobanks are specialized laboratory environments focused on the collection, processing, storage and retrieval of biological samples - such as DNA, RNA, blood, tissue and cell lines, used to support clinical genomics, research and population-based studies.
What Is a Genetic Biobank?
A genetic biobank is a controlled laboratory and storage facility designed to preserve biological specimens and associated data for future genetic analysis. Unlike diagnostic laboratories, biobanks prioritize sample integrity, traceability and long-term viability rather than immediate testing.
Genetic biobanks often operate alongside clinical genomics, molecular genetics, oncology or rare disease programs, serving as foundational infrastructure for ongoing and future research.
Core Biobank Capabilities Supported
Precision Lab Builds supports genetic biobank infrastructure for:
Sample Collection & Processing Areas
Controlled environments for initial specimen handling

Genetic Biobank Design Considerations
Genetic biobanks require specialized planning to support long-term storage and data integrity, including:
Ultra-low temperature and controlled-environment storage zones
Redundant power, monitoring and alarm systems
Secure access controls and audit trails
Scalable storage layouts to accommodate growing collections
Disaster recovery and continuity planning
Our designs emphasize reliability, scalability and regulatory alignment.
How Genetic Biobanks Fit Within Genomics Programs
Clinical Genomics Labs generate samples for long-term study
Oncology & Rare Disease Labs rely on stored specimens for ongoing research
