LabVantage today announced a new webcast featuring the Multiple Myeloma Research Consortium (MMRC). The MMRC shares its insights into the implementation of LabVantage’s Sapphire BioBanking Solution for the effective and efficient biospecimen management system to support myeloma research throughout MMRC's partner network.

In the cutting-edge world of research, accurate, compliant and efficient management of biospecimens is critical. These specimens serve as the basis for novel research and development of tomorrow's drugs and medical treatments. The MMRC reviews the unique challenges of sample collection, storage, management, and reporting associated with its myeloma specimens. It also addresses the specific barriers to specimen management and data warehousing faced by the MMRC, including how to: span the life cycle of the specimen, address the needs of multiple end users, capture correlating clinical data, maintain flexibility, and provide global visibility.
