Introduction
Biobanks provide valuable biospecimens and data to researchers, thus promoting and helping advance advancing biospecimen research. However, many biobanks struggle to share their biospecimens, and researchers find it difficult to source samples. samples, making it hard for researchers to source them.
OpenSpecimen's SpecimenCatalog module closes the gap between biobanks and researchers by providing bridges this gap with a web-based biospecimen catalog. Using SpecimenCatalog, allowing researchers can easily to search for samples and associated data based on multiple filters like specimen type, anatomical site, etc. They can compare and contrast using various filters. They can compare samples from different biobanks and directly request access directly. OpenSpecimen sends forwards all request forms requests to biobanks, which can then fill the order fulfil orders and ship the biospecimens.
SpecimenCatalog makes it easy for enables biobanks to upload a range of diverse data about their biospecimens, including sample datasamples, de-identified clinical data, and quality assurance data. It is entirely configurable, and biobanks can decide how much data to allowing biobanks to control data upload and who can access it.
