Unanticipated situations can arise in biobanking. This paper empirically
documents unexpected situations at the anonymous biobank 'Xbank'. Firstly, Xbank
received an unexpected and significant quantity of tissue from the historical
archive of a hospital network. Secondly, Xbank had its funding withdrawn before
the designated end date for the grant, meaning the bank needed to either re-house
or destroy its holdings. This paper articulates and uses the theoretical
frameworks of bio-objectification and tissue economies to analyse the experiences
of Xbank and draw out further implications of the potential precariousness of
biobanking practice. The case study allows an inspection of how the value of
tissue is configured and reconfigured as institutional contexts shift. We
introduce the notion of momentariness as a way of grappling with the related
temporariness and perpetualness of biobanking practice in both a theoretical and
practical policy context.
