Digital Manifests vs. Manual Processes

Proper sample accessioning is a critical component of practically all laboratory workflows, directly influencing the accuracy, efficiency, and validity of the resulting research. Effective sample accessioning processes ensure the traceability and integrity of specimens from collection through to analysis and storage. Errors during accessioning, such as mislabeled specimens or inaccurate documentation, can lead to severe consequences, including misdiagnosis in clinical settings, delayed clinical trials in translational research, and compromised data validity in fundamental research. 

While traditional manual accessioning methods are still used, they are prone to inefficiencies and errors due to their time-consuming and unstandardized nature. Digital accessioning systems, using barcode and radio-frequency identification technologies, offer significant improvements by minimizing errors, enhancing efficiency, and supporting scalability and compliance. 

Sampled’s robust accessioning framework demonstrates these advantages by integrating digital tools with rigorous quality control measures, showcasing our commitment to accuracy and traceability in sample management.
