Biobanking

Biobanking features support structured management of samples, aliquots, and storage locations across multiple sites. Standardized metadata and clear workflows create transparency from sample intake to analysis.

The platform links biospecimen information with clinical data under defined privacy and access rules. This helps research teams prepare studies efficiently and maintain full traceability.

Sample metadata follows the Data Model. For downstream use of biobank data in studies, see Medical Research.

Sample Workflow

The module covers the entire lifecycle from sample collection to checkout for research projects. Each step can be adapted to institution-specific requirements.

• Collection kit preparation: Specimen containers with printed thermal-transfer deep-freeze barcode labels and an instruction sheet
• Participant registration including consent form
• Sample data collection at the point of collection
• Transport tracking to intermediate storage institutions and onward to the laboratory
• Processing: Aliquoting and preparation of samples
• Storage: Automated positioning of samples in freezer units
• Checkout: Structured release of specimens for research projects
