SNUG Reminder – Conference Benefits for Users
April 9, 2024We are less than one month away and SCC Soft Computer is overjoyed to see our users this coming May. We still encourage folks who have yet to sign up to do so, there is still time. Registration is open […]
What is Biorisk Management?
April 6, 2024Biorisk management sets policies, procedures, and controls that prevent harm to people, data, and the environment during biospecimen handling. It aligns facility design, staff competencies, and governance so materials remain contained, traceable, and scientifically useful across their full lifecycle. Programs […]
What is Biorepository Management?
April 6, 2024Biorepository management coordinates the people, processes, and systems that preserve biological materials and their metadata for research. It turns specimen handling into a reproducible supply chain that withstands audits, staff turnover, and evolving study requirements. Teams align consent, collection, processing, […]
What is Biobanking?
April 6, 2024Biobanking stores biological specimens and their associated data under controlled conditions so researchers can run reproducible studies at scale. Teams preserve blood, tissue, nucleic acids, cells, and derivatives, then connect each sample to clinical and phenotypic context. Purpose-built biobank software […]
What is Computerized Record Keeping of Blood Bank?
April 6, 2024A blood establishment computer system (BECS) is the foundation of computerized record keeping in blood banks. This technology ensures every step in the blood management process is documented, secure, and traceable. Blood banks must handle sensitive, regulated data, from donor […]
What is a BECS System?
April 6, 2024A blood establishment computer system (BECS) is the backbone of modern blood banking and transfusion services. These systems are designed to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant management of every step in the blood supply chain. They oversee donor recruitment, collection, […]
What is an Organoid Biobank?
April 6, 2024An organoid biobank preserves three-dimensional, self-organizing mini-tissues derived from stem cells or patient samples and pairs them with rigorous metadata. It functions as research infrastructure rather than a project refrigerator, supporting standardized derivation, long-term storage, and controlled distribution under documented […]
What Does Biorepository Mean?
April 6, 2024A biorepository preserves biological specimens and their associated data so research teams can run credible studies over many years. It treats specimens and metadata as governed assets rather than consumables, with traceability from consent through final disposition. Programs define acquisition, […]
What is the Principle of Biobanking?
April 6, 2024Biobanking operates on a simple principle with demanding execution: preserve biological materials and their context so future research remains reliable. Collections gain value only when samples retain integrity, provenance stays unbroken, and metadata captures preanalytical conditions with discipline. That requires […]
What Software do Blood Banks Use?
April 6, 2024Blood banks run on specialized platforms that protect patients, preserve traceability, and satisfy demanding regulatory expectations. A blood establishment computer system governs transfusion operations from pretransfusion testing through issuing and post-event documentation with complete audit trails. Donor operations feed that […]
What is the BECS System for Blood?
April 6, 2024A blood establishment computer system coordinates end-to-end controls for donor intake, component production, product testing, inventory, and transfusion. It provides validated workflows, role-based access, audit trails, and decision logic that reduce manual steps and prevent inconsistent workarounds. Core functions include […]
