Access to the right

sample and data at the

right time is the key

Research is built around samples and the associated data

Clear path needed to

value creation for both

the institution and the PI

Funding pressures mandate solutions be cost efficient

Consolidation of samples

and data connectivity

enables more affordable

advancement

of research

Technology can be an enabler of sample asset optimization

Enabling collaborations

among researchers

accelerate discovery

The physical sample matters and is the key to unlocking research

Must be archived in

ways that preserve their

value over time for follow

on, larger and newer

hypotheses

Clinical specimens are often stored in PI silos

Biosamples are Vital to Advance Academic Research

Use Case: Visualizing Tissue Availability for Research

Use Case: Enabling Research Study Feasibility

Use Case: Tracking Multi-Center Study Collections

Use Case: Disease Sample Collections

For your time and your attention.
