Case Study: Nova Medical School digitizes biobanking operations with CloudLIMS

Nova Medical School Ditches Spreadsheets & Chooses CloudLIMS to Digitize Their Biobanking Operations

Nova Medical School, part of NOVA University of Lisbon, was facing significant challenges in managing its Comprehensive Health Biobank (CHAIN). They needed to digitize their operations to regulate sample flow from multiple storage sites, track a diverse range of biospecimens, maintain a secure chain-of-custody, and meet strict regulatory standards like EU GDPR, all of which were being inefficiently handled using spreadsheets.

By implementing CloudLIMS, a cloud-based Laboratory Information Management System, the biobank successfully automated its workflows. The CloudLIMS team configured the software to their specific needs, imported over 30,000 legacy samples, and provided comprehensive training. The results were transformative, enabling efficient sample and storage tracking, secure data management with role-based access, batch data imports, and streamlined regulatory compliance, ultimately boosting the operational efficiency of the entire biobanking facility.
