Sample Chain-of-Custody Log
A done-for-you pharma and biotech automation built for the Lab Operations Manager, connecting Zapier and Make.com so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
As samples move between collection, storage, and testing, this automation automatically logs each handoff with a timestamp and the handler's name, maintaining an auditable chain of custody.
A paper log that can be lost, incomplete, or illegible gets replaced with a digital record that holds up under audit.
- A LIMS (laboratory information management system)
- Zapier or Make.com
- A barcode scanning app
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Done by hand, this depends entirely on a lab operations manager remembering to check in, update records, and follow up, with no safety net if something slips. None of it is difficult, it's just slow, repetitive, and easy to fall behind on.
With this automation
- Expiration and renewal alerts on a 90, 60, and 30 day countdown
- Signature and document chasers that escalate on their own
- Deadline tracking for filings, permits, and inspections
- An automatic audit trail of every notice sent
