The [COVID-19 Sample Collection Database](https://biobanks.covid19dataportal.se/), was launched as part of the Swedish COVID-19 and Pandemic Preparedness Portal in February 2021. It was developed by [SciLifeLab Data Centre](https://www.scilifelab.se/data) in collaboration with Biobank Sweden and the SciLifeLab and Knut and Alice Wallenberg (KAW) National COVID-19 Research Program. The database was launched with the aim of making it easier for those involved in research to identify and access samples stored in biobanks that could be used to progress their work. Easy access to biobank samples is essential to pandemic preparedness, as it facilitates a greater understanding of pandemics. This, in turn, could help to prevent or reduce the impact of future pandemics.

The Sample Collection Database currently contains 36 sample collections, including 35 collections stored at 18 regional biobanks, as well as the new national collection stored at the National Pandemic Center. New sample collections will continue to be are added to the database in coordination with Biobank Sverige over time. The database has multiple filtering functions to make it easier for users to identify potentially relevant samples. For example, it is possible to filter the database by the name of the biobank/collection, as well as the type of material available in the collection (e.g. nasal swabs). For more information about the COVID-19 Sample Collection Database, and to access it, please see our [Biobanks page](/biobanks/).
