Sample Inventory Training Modules

It is important to know what to expect when preparing for a sample inventory event. There are many factors to consider when going through the inventory process, from pre-inventory prep work to sample transfer to managing sample integrity.

We have prepared three eModules designed to assist in managing the inventory process—these modules include helpful information on the “why” of the inventory process as well as tips and recommendations for each stage.

• Module 1: What do I need to know before opening the door? 
• Module 2: How do I maintain sample integrity during an inventory process? 
• Module 3: How to maintain sample integrity 

Biobanking Analysis

The real value of biospecimens is the data they generate through techniques like genomic and proteomic analysis. The extensive amounts of data, results and reports need to be collated from a variety of these collaborating partners. Adding to the complexity, the timely and accurate flow of information is essential.

Biobanking Preparation

A critical biobanking stage, preparation ensures that target sample components are ready for storage in an optimal format for downstream use. The preparation of biological samples lays the groundwork for a range of critical research objectives such as drug discovery, cancer and disease research, cell therapy, and beyond. Our solutions support sample preparation ranging from extraction, fractionation, and aliquoting, while maintaining traceability from the point of collection at a range of throughput levels for biobanks at any scale.

Biobanking Transport

Maintaining integrity of your biospecimens at every point of transfer from collection to shipping/distribution is imperative to obtaining quality sample and associated data. The right logistics plan, climate, transport containers, and chain-of-custody as well as the type of samples and their intended use are vital to regulating sample temperature during transportation.
