Key Features

Specimen Distribution
Manage requests and distribute specimens to researchers. This is really important for chain-of-custody of the specimens.

Security and Permissions
Customize user permissions per study and per lab. We can create permissions based on the user’s role in the study.

Reporting
OpenSpecimen supports complex queries that can be saved, are shareable and exported easily.

Integrations
The current integrations with OpenSpecimen are to REDCap, EPIC, printers, and scanners to OpenSpecimen.

Specimen Processing Workflow

Sample management software is designed for research teams to manage specimen processing and storage with capabilities such as batch processing documentation for aliquoting, pooling and derivatives, as well as any processing performed prior to running assays. Streamline your processes as your specimens move from receipt through the laboratory to storage, shipment, or destruction.

Integrated Data Repository

No need for multiple systems tracking different types of data. Instead, store your specimen inventory, processing, and experimental data all in a single location annotated with clinical, subject, and assay data for analysis and identification of trends. Configurable validation checks ensure validity and accuracy of data, and reduce data entry errors.

Note: The Biobank is in the process of upgrading this sample management software in the coming months.
