Pkg-Description: tool for biospecimen inventory management
48
CaTissue Suite is caBIG's biorepository tool for biospecimen inventory
49
management, tracking, and annotation. This tool permits users to enter
50
and retrieve data concerning the collection, storage, quality assurance,
51
and distribution of biospecimens. caTissue Suite is sufficiently
52
scalable and configurable for deployment across biospecimen resources of
53
varying size and function, and that manage multiple types of
54
biospecimens (tissue, biofluids, nucleic acid). The tool provides
55
search functionality for both the biorepository staff and research
56
scientist, who may be interested in searching for and requesting
57
biospecimens for correlative science studies.
59
caTissue Suite features include:
60
* Customizable user roles and privileges structure to support multiple,
61
independent repositories within a single caTissue installation.
62
* Collection Protocol template creation allows representation of pre-defined
63
specimen processing schemes and multiple study arms and time points in
64
order to expedite data entry.
65
* Patient study registration with duplicate patient checking algorithm.
66
* Facilitated specimen accessioning, recording of processing events,
67
creation and recording of biospecimen derivatives and aliquots.
68
* Recording of biospecimen shipping and tracking events across repositories
69
in a single caTissue installation.
70
* Improved data form display for custom annotations (Dynamic Extensions
71
tool), including new CAP checklist based forms for pathology annotation
72
of major organ systems.
73
* caTIES-like pathology report text annotation.
74
* Advanced Query “Wizard”, allowing for the creation and saving of complex
75
queries which can be run as pre-defined or parameterized searches.
76
* Searches based on temporal relationships.
77
* Specimen requisition and request tracking.
