Overview

The organized and auditable collection of samples is crucial to effective research: the CLASS Laboratory has developed technologies to produce custom sample collection kits that are both scientifically rigorous and cost effective.

These kits are designed with serialized, bar-coded sample collection vials tied to bar coded collection forms providing easy data entry by laser scanning and both an electronic and physical (paper) audit trail of sample collection and disposition.

Our kit design philosophy includes making sample handling as easy as possible for the study sites and maintaining a complete life history of each sample in the study.

Working collaboratively with our clients, we have manufactured more than 100,000 kits in 100+ different designs for serum, plasma, urine, saliva, and DNA collections. These kits incorporate novel site-assistance features such as: notched labels to reveal sample level; color coding by sample type; uniform sample IDs within each kit; bar-coded sample history-entry forms to reduce manual data entry; and sub-kit component packaging.
