Case Study: Colibri Scientific achieves streamlined multi-site sample tracking and regulatory compliance with CloudLIMS

Colibri Scientific Manages Studies and Streamlines its Entire Sample Operations using CloudLIMS

Colibri Scientific, a UK-based provider of clinical sample services for early-phase studies, faced the challenge of managing large numbers of samples across multiple sites while maintaining chain-of-custody, generating barcode labels, batch-editing sample data, tracking storage locations, associating samples with donors and studies, and meeting regulatory requirements (FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GCP). After evaluating options, Colibri Scientific trialed and selected CloudLIMS, a cloud-based SaaS LIMS configured to their specific workflows.

CloudLIMS delivered a configured LIMS with barcode templates and 2D barcode/label printing, real-time multi-site sample tracking, batch editing, storage-location management, electronic signatures and an automated audit trail. The implementation enabled Colibri Scientific to streamline study and sample operations, meet audit and regulatory requirements, eliminate large upfront hardware costs through a PAYG cloud model, and scale licenses monthly — improving traceability, compliance and operational efficiency.
