Sample integrity and quality have a big impact on reproducibility in clinical labs. Furthermore, regulatory agencies require detailed documentation to prove data quality and compliance.
To maintain structural integrity of samples while they are stored, moved, or used, your lab's sample management process must include the following:
- Adherence to supply and cold chain practices
- Inventory control
- Detailed and accurate records
- Accessible documentation of the process
Automated laboratory monitoring systems simplify how your lab achieves all of the above, thus enabling you to maintain high data integrity and quality for better reproducibility.
