Establish a consistent record
A programme begins with the identifiers, records and handling responsibilities that will remain linked to each material.
- Accessioning and coding coordination.
- Processing, aliquoting and preservation coordination within the agreed scope.
- Linked handling records and coded clinical information.
Manage storage, access and retrieval
Storage and specimen-management arrangements are matched to the programme. The performing facility, relevant capabilities and responsibilities are confirmed for the work.
- Storage coordination and inventory management.
- Retrieval and authorised release.
- Traceability and reconciliation of the agreed specimen and inventory records.
Plan the end of the programme as carefully as the start
Retention, access, return, transfer and disposition arrangements should be agreed before work begins and reviewed when the programme changes. Facility ownership and the specific storage configuration are established during feasibility; service availability does not imply that every facility is owned by Nexhavia.
