CORE CAPABILITIES

Six Core Capabilities

From sample accession to release and sharing, BioBank provides specialized management tools for every critical stage of biobank operations.

🧊

Cryogenic Storage Management

Supports -80°C ultra-low freezers, LN2 dewars, vapor-phase LN2 and other storage environments with 7x24 automatic temperature monitoring and instant SMS/email alerts. Covers -196°C to -20°C full cryogenic storage scenarios.

🗺️

3D Position Tracking

Five-level spatial model — room, tank, rack, box, position — precisely locating every sample. Supports dual 2D barcode and RFID identification; scan a sample to instantly know its position, eliminating misplacement errors.

2D code + RFID dual positioning
🧬

Informed Consent Management

Electronic ICF template management, online participant signing, ethics review workflow, secondary use authorization and withdrawal. Fully online process with immutable compliance records meeting ISBER ethical management requirements.

Supports withdrawal & version traceability
🔬

Sample Quality Assessment

Multi-dimensional QC metrics including RIN, A260/280, viability, CT value, with automatic flagging of non-conforming samples and release locking. Automatic freeze-thaw cycle cumulative tracking ensures sample quality is known, controlled, and traceable throughout.

Freeze-thaw cycles auto-tracked
🤝

Sample Sharing & Collaboration

Internal requests, external collaborations, and fee-based sample management with full online approval workflows. Supports multi-center biobank interoperability, providing sample sharing infrastructure for cohort studies and multi-center projects.

Multi-center collaboration supported
📈

Cohort Study Integration

One-stop integration and multi-dimensional retrieval of disease cohort, healthy cohort, and disease-specific biobank follow-up data. Supports longitudinal correlation analysis of clinical phenotype and sample data, providing a data foundation for translational medicine research.

SAMPLE WORKFLOW

Sample Full Workflow Management

Six workflow nodes covering the complete sample lifecycle from collection and accession to sharing and release — every step precisely recorded and fully traceable.

01

Sample Collection & Informed Consent

Electronic informed consent signing, sample collection SOP management, collection-time QC verification. Ensures every sample has a clear source, ethical compliance, and complete information.

02

Sample Processing & Accession

Centrifugation, aliquoting, label printing, automatic multi-dimensional position assignment. Samples generate a unique identifier upon accession with cryovial-level tracking, fully paperless operation.

03

Cryogenic Storage & Monitoring

-80°C ultra-low freezers, LN2 dewars, vapor-phase LN2 environment management. 7x24 automatic temperature data collection with instant SMS alerts on threshold deviation, ensuring sample storage safety.

04

Quality Assessment & QC

Multi-dimensional assessment: RIN, A260/280, viability, CT value. Automatic freeze-thaw cycle accumulation, non-conforming samples auto-locked from release — safeguarding sample quality baselines.

05

Sample Retrieval & Release

Multi-condition combined filtering, online request and ethics review approval. Full cold-chain logistics tracking with complete visibility into sample whereabouts and auditable release records.

06

Cohort Studies & Sharing

Disease cohort, healthy cohort, disease-specific biobank follow-up data integration. Supports multi-center collaboration and federated learning models, providing high-quality sample data foundations for translational research.
