Velos eSample is a biospecimen research management solution that supports researchers, investigators, and study teams throughout the entire sample management process. eSample is an eResearch added functionality that permissioned users are able to manage. It supports specimen acquisition, processing and tracking, assay results collection, association to patient and/or study data and the ability to query and analyze data. These capabilities combine to expedite the research process, enhance data quality and improve data access, and enable integrated specimen, patient, and research subject data collection. In addition, standard pre-defined reports or ad-hoc query reporting feature are part of the solution to view and analyze data collected through the application.
Three functions define the eSample module:
▪Specimen Inventory: Samples are created and/or managed through this browser. In additional, a bulk specimen upload and status change can be performed.
▪Storage Admin: From this browser, storage units are created and modified. Storage units are used to indicate the specimen location for specimens housed within the institution's facilities.
▪Storage Kit Library: A storage kit is a virtual representation of the sample kit used to collect specimens during a study visit. A storage kit is a set of components (storage units, i.e. test tubes). Storage kits are linked to a patient calendar.
