Sample Intelligence

QuartzBio's Sample Intelligence™ is a biospecimen management solution purpose-built for clinical-stage biopharma teams. Powered by QuartzBio's Precision Medicine AI Agent Platform, it delivers a 360° view of biospecimens across their entire lifecycle — from collection through processing, testing, and long-term storage. The solution is designed to ensure data quality and compliance, reduce operational time and cost, and enable timely insights and course corrections across drug development programs.

Sample Intelligence serves biospecimen and biomarker operations teams, clinical operations professionals, and translational researchers who need a centralized, harmonized view of sample data drawn from all lab sources and electronic data capture (EDC) systems. It is the foundation for teams looking to eliminate spreadsheets, address discrepancies before database lock, and plan batch testing runs with confidence.

Master Sample Inventory (MSI)

• Identify missing samples that were expected but not collected
• Identify out-of-protocol collections that were collected but not expected
• Handle different collection groups including cohorts, amendments, and regions
• Apply business logic to compare actual visit dates against expected visit dates
• View projected collections for individual patients

Sample Collection Monitoring and Compliance

• Monitor sample collections per protocol, flagging missed and out-of-protocol samples
• Identify patterns of non-compliance at sites to enable timely course correction
• Ensure quality data and compliance with sample collection requirements
• Support automated sample reconciliation between EDC and labs for timely corrections

Testing Monitoring: Sample Testing and Stability Summaries

• Apply business logic to assess sample stability based on assay-specific criteria
• Flag samples approaching or reaching expiration
• Provide both visual and tabular outputs for testing summaries
• Offer a centralized view of sample testing status across all assays and testing labs

Dynamic Dashboards and Enterprise Reporting

• Users can create dynamic dashboards and custom widgets
• Report on sample collection summaries across multiple studies
• Generate site-level and vendor-level reporting across studies

Data Checks

• Automated standard data checks to surface potential issues
• File-level structure and format validation
• Detection of potential issues from subject IDs and duplicate sample IDs

Data Reconciliation and Query Tracking

• Identify discrepancies between data residing in any two source files
• Summary output provided in vSIM reports
• Automatically generate and issue queries from data checks and reconciliation processes
• Automatically close resolved queries
• Users can resolve queries directly within the platform
• Users can download the Query Tracker to manage queries with labs

Logistics: Sample Shipment Lists and Tracking

• Tabular view of available samples based on configurable business logic, including sample status, stability, open queries, and batch size
• Identify samples eligible for shipping
• Shipment tracking module integrated within QuartzBio's UI, linking to courier databases including FedEx, Quickstat, and World Courier

Consent Tracking

• Gain visibility into consent status by linking digital indicators of consent to sample metadata
• Support translational research teams in planning batch testing runs based on consent and sample availability

Key Use Cases by Team

• Biospecimen and Biomarker Operations: Track samples across the full lifecycle of collection, processing, testing, and storage to ensure the right samples reach the right place at the right time
• Clinical Operations: Address discrepancies before database lock, monitor site and vendor performance, and retrain sites where needed
• Translational Research: Monitor sample availability, quality, and consent status to properly plan and execute batch testing runs

Sample Intelligence can be extended with QuartzBio's Agent Intelligence solution, which enables users to query sample data using natural language questions for faster, easily consumable insights. QuartzBio is purpose-built to deliver end-to-end Sample and Biomarker Intelligence, transforming fragmented data into actionable intelligence across a unified ecosystem of sample, clinical, and biomarker data.
