BioStorage Technologies has released an upgraded version of ISISS, the company's proprietary web-based tracking and sample management system.

BioStorage claims the upgraded version includes enhanced search features, customized reporting capabilities, and intuitive sample tracking that allows for increased control and visibility over biological sample inventories.

The new system is fast and easy-to-use and allows users to monitor sample status and activity, view audit trails and documentation, schedule shipments and retrieve sample data on biological materials stored in BioStorage Technologies’ global database, the company said.

BioStorage chief operating officer Lori Ball said the globalization of clinical research, combined with the growth of biotech drug development, necessitates a cross-functional system that provides the customization and scalability required to efficiently manage growing biological sample inventories and their associated data.
