Overcoming Informatics Challenges with a Purpose-Built Biobanking LIMS
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. Managing these biospecimens and the associated data accurately and efficiently can be challenging, taking into consideration the diversity of sample types, the choice for processing technologies, and the variety of storage conditions for these biospecimens. Ethical factors and consent tracking provide for added complexity, requiring additional steps during the process. Security and patient privacy need to be carefully considered, with great care given to protecting the personal health information of participants enrolled in a study. The process also needs to consider compliance with regulations relating to audit tra
