→ Sample integrity pf of biospecimens is maintained at every point

Registration

→ Samples are registered into Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS using unique 1D or 2D barcode
→ Matrix barcoded tubes can be accessioned via semi-automated or fully-automated platforms

Storage

→ Sample storage location identified
→ Full range of cold storage equipment solutions are available to meet cryopreservation and sample storage needs

Pull

→ Samples are scanned out of SampleManager LIMS when they are ready to leave the biorepository and verified via several quality checkpoints
→ Samples packaged to individual client specifications

Distribution

→ The appropriate logistics plan, transport containers, and chain-of-custody, taking into account the type of samples and their intended use, are vital to regulate sample temperature during transportation
→ Smart-Vue sensors protect the quality of your samples, and facilitate regulatory compliance by continuously monitoring and reporting temperature conditions
