Biobank Software Frequently Asked Questions
Biobank software is a system for managing the full lifecycle of biological specimens from registration and processing through storage, distribution, and eventual disposal, as well as managing all associated data, documentation, and compliance records. It replaces spreadsheets and manual tracking with a centralized, auditable platform that gives biobank teams control over inventory, workflows, and data integrity at any scale.
LabKey Sample Manager and LabKey LIMS supports compliance with ISBER Best Practices, HIPAA, and CFR Part 11. Audit trails are captured automatically for all specimen-related events, documenting chain-of-custody and supporting regulatory review without additional manual effort.
Every specimen in LabKey is tracked through its complete lifecycle (registration, processing, storage, distribution) with an automatically generated audit trail for every event. That record is retained even after a specimen is disposed of so that your team always has a documented chain-of-custody for regulatory review or internal audit.
