How a Custom Off-the-Shelf LIMS Can Overcome the Biobanking Informatics Challenge

Biobanks play a crucial role in biomedical research by storing and distributing a wide array of biospecimens and the clinical information linked to those samples. Many challenges are encountered when biobanking, including the tracing of samples and security of patient information. This application note details how a LabVantage purpose-built, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Biobanking LIMS solution can help address many of these challenges by providing built-in workflows, electronic data capture, improved data accuracy and increased process efficiency, as well as enabling compliance with regulatory requirements.
