Biobank management
Collection management is an important activity of biobanks. With Quaero BIMS, a wide variety of biomaterial items can be virtually archived and connected to analysis results. Each item possesses its own registration, processing and accessing procedure. Editing items go according to a predetermined Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The SOP provides a step-wise description which operations should be performed for the processing of the item. All changes and progresses are registered in Quaero BIMS which make it suitable for audit trail implementation.
FAIR Data
FAIR data principles acts as a guideline to produce and store data such that it is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable over different research projects.
Quaero BIMS gives you direct control over your data according to the organisation's governance to easily enrich and merge data over different projects. Our solution uses data models of BBMRI, EU MIABIS, Parelsnoer and organization specific data that can be directly connected to other data portals and biobank initiatives.
Full governance
Data storage and security of the data needs to be ensured by the entire organization. An organisation's governance describes the roles and responsibility in full detail and is leading to carry out policy and assure quality of all biobank activities. This includes the registration, processing, storing, sharing and distribution of data and physical biomaterials according to strict internal rules and laws and regulations.
The governance is carried out organization-wide and comprises the implementation of laws and regulations on privacy, data protection, process validation and risk management.
With Quaero BIMS, full governance can be implemented over the entire digital biobank collection by deploying a clear, transparent data stewardship model to control data access and processing.
