How are specimens tracked in the Biorepository?
Each sample will be labeled with unique ID, accessioned into the MAW3® biobanking informatics system, and stored in appropriately monitored and secure ultra-low freezers. MAW3® is a robust, flexible, scalable, and secure informatics platform, supporting the integrated collection, annotation, storage, and distribution of biospecimens and data through a web-based interface. Barcode-based chain-of-custody and inventory management functionalities track the precise location and status of every specimen at all times. Return to top.
