Biospecimen360™ solves your site compliance, sample tracking, and data reconciliation challenges

Our vendor-agnostic software standardizes sample metadata capture at research sites, while still offering sites flexibility to follow their own SOPs.

B360™ guides sites through compliant sample collection, processing, storing, and shipping. As sites complete these activities, sample metadata flows bi-directionally between B360™, EDC, and lab LIMS through integrations. This eliminates duplicate EDC data entry and automatically generates all the necessary information for labs to pre-accession samples for testing.

This enables sponsors to track physical sample movement and analyze sample metadata as the trial unfolds from a central location, as well as significantly reduce queries and reconciliation timelines.

Biospecimen Management Standardization at Research Sites

Ensure research site sampling compliance

Slope standardizes biospecimen management at research sites, from kit supply to collection, processing, storage, and shipment. This significantly reduces biospecimen compliance challenges, increases efficiency, and yields more comprehensive biospecimen data.

Ensure site adherence to study biospecimen procedures and prevent sampling errors

Slope’s guided sample workflows enable sites to follow precise sampling instructions and automatically produce associated documentation with an audit trail.
By establishing guardrails for sample collection, processing, storage, and shipment, Slope prevents missed assessments and lost or mishandled samples, increasing site compliance.

Standardize biospecimen-related protocol amendments

Slope’s amendment management standardizes study changes or amendments, which enables rapid sample management workflow changes across all sites as soon as changes are approved — ensuring clinicians always follow the most recent study requirements.

Monitor real-time site inventory levels

Slope’s inventory availability and utilization tracking provides sponsors with visibility into clinical inventory including shipments, receipt, quantity, and expiry.
Additionally, Slope ensures sites have the correct kits available to collect samples according to study documents.

Sample Tracking & Chain of Custody

Close critical gaps in sample visibility & chain of custody

Slope controls the biospecimen lifecycle and improves the speed, accuracy, visibility, and access to biospecimen data for sponsors — closing the gap by connecting disparate stakeholders and data systems within a singular platform.

Sample Data Reconciliation & Discrepancy Management

Alleviate the burden of sample‑related queries and reconciliation

Slope automated workflows significantly reduce sample-related discrepancies and queries. Through integrations with any EDC and LIMS, Slope enables proper data integrity, harmonization, and expedited resolution to sample discrepancies.

Avoid EDC and lab queries by eliminating the need for requisition forms and harmonizing site and lab data to enable faster data reconciliation

Slope significantly reduces EDC and lab queries related to mismatched data due to manual forms and transposition errors by fully digitizing the data and integrating data sources.
Through controlling sample data collection, processing, and shipping, we ensure data continuity between sites and lab vendors to result in less discrepancies and faster data reconciliation.

Clinical Research Site Adoption & Usage

The only site‑centric solution that delivers biospecimen data you can trust

Slope was built with and for site staff — which is why it’s been adopted by nearly 80% of NCI‑designated cancer centers, and has a growing site community of thousands of sites that perform their daily activities directly in the system.
