A number of technical, regulatory and ethical concerns challenge biobanks today. The number of biospecimens in a biobank can run into the millions. These specimens have different biospecimen types that range from tissues to blood to stem cells, etc. as well as derived samples like DNA or RNA. It is critical for a successful biobank to have a system that can efficiently track biospecimen locations, record biospecimen details and Meta data, update information on a day-to-day basis and facilitate specimen request management, and distribution. Also critical to your success is the flexibility to be able to configure and enhance the system as required to support other biobanking needs now and into the future. Moreover, compliance to ethical practices is demanded when dealing with human specimens due to HIPAA and other privacy regulations as well as donor Informed Consent requirements.

However, establishing a biobank itself is resource intensive and often consumes most of the planned budget. To make additional capital expenditures in the form of incremental servers, disk space, network systems and human resources towards installing in your facility a biobanking management system can seem next to impossible.
