BioVU plasma biobanking is supported by existing DNA and EMR de-identification infrastructure. Leftover blood samples are scanned and queried against a database for BioVU DNA biobanking eligibility. Should DNA be already banked, the sample is considered for phenotypic plasma extraction. Both DNA and plasma are linked to their EMR through scrubbing by a secure one-way hash algorithm. Samples and records are linked via a de-identified research identifier.
