Sapio Biorepository Software
Intelligent Sample and Biobank Operations – All in One Place
Take complete control of your biobank
Sapio’s Biorepository Software empowers labs and biobanks to manage biospecimens with precision, security, and speed—from registration and storage to fulfillment and compliance. Purpose-built for regulated and research environments, our solution delivers end-to-end visibility, robust role-based access, and an intuitive user experience that adapts to your needs.
With Sapio, you gain a centralized, secure, scalable platform for managing biospecimens across studies, locations, and collaborators.
Built for Complete Traceability and Compliance
Sample registration and intake, made simple
Register new samples or materials under a study or location with ease. Use manifests or manual input, and assign them directly into storage.
Role-based sample visibility
Ensure only users assigned to a study or location can view or access relevant samples—supporting privacy, data security, and compliance.
Aliquots, pools, and slides
Quickly derive child samples from parents—supporting standard lab operations such as aliquoting, pooling, and slide preparation.
Sample request management
Requesting groups can easily find and request available biospecimens. Requests are routed to the biosample management group for approval and fulfillment.
Automated notifications
Optionally, requesters can be instantly notified of request approvals and fulfillment stages—keeping everyone aligned without manual back-and-forth.
Shipment management
Create and manage shipments for internal or external delivery sites. Complete visibility from shipment initiation to receipt, including scanning at destination.
Receiving and discrepancy resolution
Requesting sites receive shipments with scanning and metadata input. Quarantine, flag, or resolve shipment discrepancies before samples are released for use.

Biorepository software is a digital solution used to manage the storage, tracking, and lifecycle of biological samples—such as tissue, blood, DNA, RNA, and cell lines—within a research or clinical setting. It supports secure sample accessioning, barcode/RFID tracking, chain of custody, and audit readiness.
Sapio’s biorepository software goes beyond basic sample tracking by integrating seamlessly into the unified Sapio Lab Informatics Platform, which includes LIMS, ELN, and the Sapio Scientific Data Cloud. This enables real-time visibility into sample status, location, and lineage across studies and departments—ensuring full traceability, compliance, and operational efficiency.
Sapio Sciences offers several editions of its biorepository software to match different organizations’ requirements. Whether you’re a growing biobank or a high-throughput clinical lab, we provide flexible options.
We offer Bronze, Silver, and Gold editions of our laboratory management software—each configurable to your sample management needs. To explore which edition is right for you, visit our pricing page.
When evaluating biorepository software, the most important features include:
– Full sample lineage and traceability
– Barcode and RFID integration
– Environmental monitoring and alerting
– Chain of custody tracking
– SOP enforcement and audit trails
– Real-time location and status tracking
– Configurable workflows for storage, retrieval, and disposal
– Built-in regulatory compliance (e.g., 21 CFR Part 11, GLP/GCP)
Sapio’s biorepository software offers all of this—and more—within a single, unified platform that connects to instruments, lab workflows, and analytical tools. It’s powered by ELaiN, Sapio’s AI assistant, for intelligent search and automation across your biorepository ecosystem.
Biorepository software transforms sample management by increasing accuracy, improving efficiency, and reducing risk. Key benefits include:
– Minimized sample loss or mislabeling through barcode/RFID tracking
– Real-time traceability and full sample lineage for audit readiness
– Improved throughput and resource utilization via automation
– Streamlined compliance with built-in regulatory controls
– Enhanced collaboration and coordination across teams and sites
Sapio’s biorepository software uniquely combines these capabilities within a configurable, science-aware informatics platform that connects LIMS, ELN, and the Scientific Data Cloud—ensuring that sample data is not just tracked, but actionable.
A biorepository LIMS is a Laboratory Information Management System designed specifically for managing biological sample collections. It helps ensure end-to-end sample integrity, from collection and storage to retrieval and archival, while supporting compliance and scalability.
Sapio’s biorepository LIMS offers more than traditional tracking—it enables intelligent, automated workflows across research and clinical environments. With support for complex storage hierarchies, environmental monitoring, full audit trails, and AI-enabled search, Sapio delivers a future-ready solution that simplifies sample management while enhancing data integrity.
