What is the Purpose of Biobanking?
March 23, 2024The purpose of biobanking extends far beyond simply storing biological samples. It is a fundamental activity that fuels modern scientific discovery and clinical research. A biobank is a highly organized repository of biological specimens, such as blood, tissue, and DNA, […]
What is ISO 20387?
March 23, 2024ISO 20387 is a global standard that provides a framework for quality and competence in biobanking. Its purpose is to promote confidence in biobank operations and to ensure biological materials and associated data they provide are of appropriate quality for […]
What is the Difference Between a Biobank and a Biorepository?
March 23, 2024While the terms biobank and biorepository are often used interchangeably, they have a subtle but important distinction. Both are facilities that collect, process, and store biological materials, such as blood, tissue, and DNA, for future use in research. The key […]
How Many Types of Biobanks Are There?
March 23, 2024There are many types of biobanks, and they can be classified in different ways depending on their purpose, the types of specimens they collect, or the populations they serve. There is no single universal classification, but understanding the different models […]
What is an Example of a Biobank?
March 23, 2024A biobank is a highly organized repository that collects, processes, stores, and distributes biological materials and their associated data for scientific research. It is much more than a simple storage facility; it is a purpose-driven resource designed to fuel discovery. […]
What is the Biobanking Process?
March 23, 2024The biobanking process is a systematic series of steps for the collection, processing, storage, and distribution of biological materials and their associated data. This is a highly structured activity that requires meticulous attention to detail at every stage to ensure […]
What is the Best LIMS Software?
March 22, 2024Determining the best LIMS software requires aligning technical capability with laboratory requirements. A laboratory information management system is not a one-size-fits-all product. What qualifies as “best” depends on the lab’s regulatory obligations, testing complexity, user volume, and integration demands. LIMS […]
What is a LIMS System for Labs?
March 22, 2024A web based laboratory information system allows laboratories to operate without the constraints of locally installed infrastructure. Accessed through secure browsers, these systems provide centralized control over laboratory data, allowing real-time management of samples, tests, and reports from any authorized […]
What is Cloud-Based LIMS?
March 22, 2024A web based laboratory information system delivers core LIS capabilities—sample management, workflow configuration, result validation, and report distribution—through browser-based access. These systems eliminate local infrastructure and allow authorized users to access and act on lab data from any secure device. […]
HIMSS 2024!
March 21, 2024SCC Soft Computer had the opportunity to exhibit during the 63rd annual HIMSS conference which was held in Orlando, Florida. We had the pleasure to meet with numerous attendees within the industry to discuss the latest innovations and discoveries within […]
What is LIMS Used For?
March 21, 2024Laboratory information management systems (LIMS) are used to control, document, and automate laboratory processes. Across clinical, pharmaceutical, environmental, and research settings, LIMS supports full sample lifecycle management—from accessioning through final reporting—while ensuring compliance with internal SOPs and external regulatory frameworks.
