Case Study: BIRKA BioStorage streamlines sample management with CloudLIMS

BIRKA BioStorage Streamlines & Automates Highly Complex Sample Management & Biobanking Processes Using CloudLIMS

BIRKA BioStorage, a cGMP and GDP certified repository in Sweden providing storage and transport services for clinical and pharmaceutical samples, sought to automate its highly complex biobanking workflows. The company faced challenges in managing diverse sample types, ensuring complete traceability, locating samples, and generating custom reports. To overcome these operational and data management hurdles, BIRKA BioStorage chose to implement the CloudLIMS platform.

CloudLIMS provided a cloud-based biobanking LIMS that was preconfigured to mirror BIRKA's storage inventory and automate its processes. The solution from CloudLIMS enabled efficient sample tracking with barcodes, ensured data security with role-based access, maintained a complete audit trail, and supported the company's disaster recovery plan. As a result, BIRKA BioStorage streamlined its operations, achieved full compliance with EU directives, reduced paper usage, and significantly enhanced its customer service with faster turnaround times for sample storage requests.
