Information about storage of samples at Statens Serum Institut

Statens Serum Institut (SSI) handles a variety of tasks for the benefit of public health, such as analysing certain samples (e.g. blood samples and saliva samples) for the Danish healthcare system. If surplus sample material remains after analysis, it may be stored in the Danish National Biobank at SSI.

Information for citizens whose biological samples we store

SSI expects that approximately 3 million Danes will be notified about stored samples, and the first letters have been sent out. If you have any questions regarding the information letter sent out by SSI, you can reach our call centre all weekdays between 09:30 and 14:00 at phone number 3232 1060.
