Sample Management for Sites
Bye bye, binders.

Welcome, workflows.
Slope transforms your paper-based lab manual into streamlined digital workflows and seamlessly integrates protocol amendments into your processes. From day one, Slope's end-to-end tracking reduces queries and simplifies data reconciliation.
Bring your lab manual to life.
By transforming your physical lab manual into software-guided workflows, Slope streamlines clinical research site staff processes into four simple steps:
1
Lab kit configuration establishes guardrails for all visit types by turning the lab manual into protocol-guided workflows.
  • Define visits, timepoints, collection containers, and procedures directly in the platform
  • One-time setup ensures consistency and streamlines processes across all patient visits
  • Operationalize the components of any lab kit
  • Seamlessly transition to new amendments
2
Sample registration facilitates accuracy and compliance by ensuring patient samples are collected in accordance with the lab manual.
  • Maximize efficiency and compliance
  • Interface enforces consistent capture of pertinent sample collection data
  • Never miss a PK timepoint
3
Sample preparation and storage walks site staff through the process of readying a specimen for analysis.
  • Properly transfer samples to appropriate return containers
  • Intuitive, error-preventing aliquoting process
  • Interface ensures samples are stored as prescribed in the lab manual
4
Sample shipping enables staff to build GCP-compliant shipments to destination labs.
  • Get your samples to the right places, at the right times
  • Never ship on blackout days
  • Actionable alerts ensure that batch shipments never fall through the cracks
  • Integrations with couriers and carriers allow users to generate tracking numbers and print shipping labels directly from the platform
“We no longer spend hours searching our paper records or binders for looking up lab samples.”

As Slope is free, are there any advertisements found within the platform that may alter the functionality of the platform? Is there a better version that needs to be paid for?‍

How are the kits inputted into the platform? Is it a one-off of inputting the details of a specific kit as a base (i.e. name, contents, cycle), and then inputting individual expiry dates for that type of kit? Or, will we be inputting all the details of a specific kit and the expiry date every time we receive a new kits?
