Clinical-Trial Sample Chain of Custody

Log every clinical-trial sample handoff — released-by, received-by, time, condition and location — for a research biobank. Builds an exportable, time-stamped custody chain, 100% offline.

Record every transfer of a clinical-trial sample — who released it, who received it, when, the storage condition (per lab manual) and the location. Built for trial sites and central labs who need an exportable, time-stamped custody chain. Each handoff is an immutable row you can export to CSV; nothing leaves your browser.

Every transfer should be recorded as soon as it happens. A gap in the chain weakens the record, so log received-by and condition at the moment of handoff. Export to CSV for your LIMS, auditor or case file.

No custody events yet. Log the first handoff of a clinical-trial sample above — each transfer becomes a permanent, time-stamped row in the chain.

For research / operational use only. Not a medical device and not a substitute for validated clinical systems or professional medical judgement. Verify against your trial protocol, IRB/ethics approval and applicable regulations (GCP, 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA/GDPR).

Free clinical-trial sample chain-of-custody log for a research biobank: time-stamped handoffs, condition and location, exportable to CSV — entirely offline.

About Clinical-Trial Sample Chain of Custody

A free, offline chain-of-custody log for trial sites and central labs. Record every transfer of a clinical-trial sample — who released it, who received it, when, the storage condition (per lab manual) and the location. Built for trial sites and central labs who need an exportable, time-stamped custody chain. Each handoff is an immutable row you can export to CSV; nothing leaves your browser.

How to use Clinical-Trial Sample Chain of Custody

  1. 1When a clinical-trial sample is collected or received, add the first custody row with its ID/barcode and the receiver's name.
  2. 2Log a new row at every handoff — release, transport, aliquoting, analysis or disposal — with the date-time and condition.
  3. 3Export the full chain to CSV any time for your LIMS, an audit, or a case file. The records never leave your device until you export them.

Why use Clinical-Trial Sample Chain of Custody?

  • Maintains an unbroken custody trail for every clinical-trial sample, so trial sites and central labs can prove who held the sample, when and in what condition.
  • Captures release/receipt, date-time, storage condition (per lab manual) and location — the fields a research biobank needs for an exportable, time-stamped custody chain.
  • Offline-first and private — sensitive specimen and donor data is stored only in your browser, never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

What is a chain of custody for a clinical-trial sample?+

A chain of custody is the chronological, documented record of everyone who handled a clinical-trial sample from collection to disposal — each transfer recording who released it, who received it, when, and the storage condition. An unbroken chain is what lets trial sites and central labs (and any reviewer) trust that the sample's identity and integrity were preserved.

Why does specimen condition matter in the custody record?+

Because integrity depends on it. A clinical-trial sample should be kept per lab manual; if a transfer breaks that — a warm freezer, an exceeded holding time — the result may be invalid. Recording condition at each handoff makes any excursion visible and defensible, and is exactly what accreditation reviewers and courts look for.

Is this suitable for a research biobank?+

Yes — this variant is framed for a research biobank and aims to produce an exportable, time-stamped custody chain. It complements your LIMS or accreditation paperwork; export to CSV to file it formally.

Where is the custody data stored?+

Only in your browser, via localStorage — no account, no upload, no third-party server. That keeps donor, patient and case data private and lets the tool work offline in the lab. Export to CSV whenever you need a permanent or shareable copy.
