Automating Cord Blood Repository Operations with Logilab SDMS & Logilab ELN

Automating Cord Blood Repository Operations with Logilab SDMS & Logilab ELN

Cord blood repositories process increasing volumes of units while operating under strict regulatory requirements from bodies such as USFDA, AABB, and FACT. Dependence on paper records, Excel-based databases, and manual data entry made it difficult to maintain traceability, ensure compliance, and quickly retrieve unit-specific information. To address these challenges, a leading cord blood repository adopted a scalable, compliance-ready digital solution. This case study highlights how the combined implementation of Logilab SDMS and ELN enabled automation, end-to-end traceability, and regulatory alignment across cord blood collection, processing, quality control, and cryostorage.

Inside this case study, you’ll learn:

• How barcode-enabled kit generation and automated unit receipt streamlined cord blood collection and tracking
• How centralized SDMS and ELN repositories enabled instant access to screening, processing, QC, and storage data by Unit ID
• How automated instrument data capture and parsing eliminated manual transcription while preserving raw and human-readable data
• How a compliance-ready digital framework delivered complete traceability, audit trails, and 21 CFR Part 11 alignment from kit shipment to cryostorage
