Form N3 is removed from multi centre studies

After careful considerations, Biobank Sweden’s steering group has decided to remove the form N3. The document has previously been used to report on completed sampling in multi centre studies.

It has emerged that these reports constitute an obstacle for both researchers and sponsors, as well as for Regional Biobank Centres (RBCs) and E-biobank managers, who have to allocate significant resources for administration.

This change came into effect immediately (June 9, 2025), and the form has thus been removed from Biobank Sweden’s document page. In practice, this also means that notification of completed sampling in multi centre studies no longer needs to be reported to the regions’ E-biobanks.
