BioMS v2.0 Background
As announced previously, a new version of the Alliance Biospecimen Management System (BioMS, v2.0) was released on February 18th, 2016. Although most of the look and functionality of BioMS v2.0 remained the same as the existing system for most users, there are in particular two new pieces of functionality that are designed to facilitate biospecimen collection for Alliance clinical trials: 1) The ability to request and track fulfillment of biospecimen collection kits; 2) The ability to submit supporting, electronic documentation to biospecimens registered in the system. We have already completed several user training sessions. For some reason, if you haven't attended the training, please review the information about the training and available training dates/times at the following link, BioMS v2.0 Training and feel free to sign up for training at your convenience.
Kit Management Cut Over
All collection kits provided by an Alliance Repository will be handled through Alliance BioMS starting March 15th, 2016. Please note that after March 14, 2016 all requests for biospecimen collections kits provided by an Alliance Repository will need to be made through the BioMS system, rather than calling, emailing, or faxing individual biorepositories.
