Overview

Octalsoft BMS (Biorepository Management System) is an AI-enabled platform designed to centralize the management of biological samples across their full lifecycle. It is built for biorepositories supporting drug discovery, diagnostics, and clinical trials, and is intended for use by pharmaceutical companies, biotech organizations, CROs, and clinical research teams operating at single or multi-site scale.

The system provides end-to-end control over biosample collection, storage, retrieval, and disposal, with built-in compliance tooling for regulated environments. It connects with laboratory and clinical data systems to support unified research operations.

End-to-End Biosample Lifecycle Management

  • Centralized database for collection, storage, retrieval, and disposal of biosamples.
  • Barcode and RFID-enabled sample tracking with real-time location mapping.
  • Automated chain-of-custody management with complete sample audit trails.

Compliance and Regulatory Readiness

  • Designed to meet FDA, HIPAA, GDPR, GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, and GCP standards.
  • Audit-ready reporting to support inspections and certifications.
  • Centralized data management provides access to audit logs, storage conditions, and complete sample histories.

Data Management and Analysis

  • Built-in tools for reporting and trend analysis across biorepository data.
  • AI-driven insights to monitor storage conditions, usage trends, and inventory levels.
  • Connects biosample metadata with laboratory data management software.

Biosample Storage and Logistics

  • Temperature and condition monitoring for sensitive biological samples.
  • Manages freezers, cryogenic storage units, and specialized containers.
  • Supports bi-directional integration with LIMS and clinical databases.

Scalability and Deployment

  • Supports large-scale global repositories and collaborative research networks.
  • Customizable workflows for pharma and biotech biorepository operations.
  • Cloud-enabled architecture for multi-site biobank operations.

Role-Based Benefits

  • Business Leaders: Tracks biosample data to reduce sample loss and supports decision-making in drug development cycles.
  • Lab Managers and Scientists: Provides automated quality controls and real-time tracking to maintain sample accuracy and integrity.
  • Clinical Research Teams: Supports compliant handling of trial biospecimens across all study phases with integration into clinical LIMS and data management systems.
  • Quality and Compliance Officers: Provides continuous regulatory readiness through centralized data management and on-demand access to audit-ready records.

Integrations and Add-ons

  • Integrates with Octalsoft LIMS to connect biosample metadata with lab testing results.
  • Integrates with Octalsoft CTMS to map biospecimen usage to study and trial operations.
  • Connects with the broader Octalsoft eClinical Suite, including eTMF and IWRS/RTSM, to support end-to-end research workflows from biosample intake to trial reporting.

Octalsoft BMS is offered alongside personalized onboarding, 24/7 support, and ongoing optimization services. The platform is positioned as part of an all-in-one eClinical suite serving CROs, sponsors, and research sites across the clinical trial lifecycle.
