How Does Program Management Work?
Program management at Sampled is a highly collaborative process. We work with clients before, during, and after studies to ensure the research is as streamlined and cost-efficient as possible.
Planning
Before a single sample is exchanged, Sampled’s team of experts is available to discuss your research question with you. If you have strict requirements, we can work within them, or if you’re not so sure exactly what you need, our expert team members can help you define it.
Collaborative planning with Sampled ensures that you are getting the most out of your samples and are not paying for any analysis you are not sure you need. Even if you think of something after the planning phase, with the broad repertoire of services offered by Sampled, there is a good chance we have you covered.
Sample Shipping and Processing
Sending samples couldn’t be easier when you collaborate with Sampled for program management. We can provide custom sample collection kits and organize the courier, ascertaining that you have everything you need to ensure samples arrive quickly and safely. Once the samples arrive with us, they are thoroughly audited, rapidly registered, and stored in the appropriate conditions using automated storage systems such as Azenta’s BioStore instrument. From here, samples are only thawed when necessary, ensuring integrity and long-term usability.
Sample Accessioning and Data Storage
We use a barcode-based sample accessioning system to ensure all samples are safely and specifically accessioned. Sample data is entered into our laboratory information management system (LIMS) and available to clients through our innovative, user-friendly portal, SampledSphere, which gives clients full control and data visibility.
Services
Sampled offers a broad array of services in partnership with global leaders in biotechnology. Whatever your research or storage needs, we are ready to help you choose the optimal platform operated by our in-house team of experts.
