Ceifer Biobank, founded in 1993, has become during these years one of the reference centers in Banco de Gametos. Its line of work has always been a model where quality and innovation prevail, seeking to provide the best service to users and donors, incorporating new work processes, both at the level of recruitment and study of donors, as well as cryoconservation, storage and distribution of donations. Since 2018, it has new facilities in Granada, which has allowed it to become the first Gametes Bank whose design is based on processes. Regarding the screening of donors, its bet has always been the introduction of new tests that increase the safety of patients and offspring, avoiding the transmission of infectious diseases and reducing the risk of transmission of genetic diseases, mainly through studies of carriers of recessive diseases.
