The topics covered are applicable to sample types ranging from small molecules to biologics to tissue samples. It has been put together using the collective experience of the authors in start-up companies, small pharma, agricultural research, IT, academia, biorepositories, and large pharma companies. Our hope is that sharing our experience will streamline the process of setting up a new sample management system and help others avoid some of the problems that we have encountered %K compound management %K sample management %K inventory %K start-up %K logistics %K laboratory management %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2472630319834471
