On a human level, strangers are coming together to help each other through the health crisis. In business, instead of competing separately to find a cure companies are working together to target COVID-19. To quote Max De Pree, ‘We can accomplish more together than we can alone.’ Even under ‘normal’ circumstances, when it comes to clinical and scientific research, many studies and clinical trials involve collaboration between funders, labs, clinics, charities, industry and so on. And without collaboration with industry and researchers Biobanks and biorepositories would soon become obsolete. Collaborative Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), like Achiever Medical, provide a range of tools to help you securely work together and, importantly, share information. Managing multi-team projects, studies and clinical trials Achiever Medical’s unique project and study functionality enables you to segment and manage your samples as collections. Within each project you can link any associated Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and documentation. You can also allocate a project team. As you add each project team member you assign them a role. This role determines what data each person can see, enter and update. You’re […]

If your samples are “flying off the shelves” then you’re a real success! However, if demand is low then effectively, you’re just a tissue archive. And that’s not what the donors had in mind when they generously donated their tissues – they want them to be used to benefit patient treatments. So, having a partnership with a research for whom you’re the “go to” tissue source is great news for both of you. But how do you promote such partnerships? Here are our five key-steps to help you create and strengthen your Biobank-researcher partnerships. 1.   Get noticed in the first place You need to be “on the radar” so that researchers know you exist and then you can start building your Biobank-researcher partnerships. The easiest way to let researchers know you exist and what tissues you hold is to register with the UKCRC. It’s easy to register and it’s so beneficial that many funders now insist that you do. So, if you want funding – it’s really a “no brainer”. In addition, the UKCRC now allows Biobanks to automatically upload their tissue data (numbers, types, formats, donor […]
