BioPoint’s Life Sciences Information Management System

BioPoint integrates all aspects of the development, processing, storage, analysis and display of transgenic data including a full-featured laboratory information management system.

BioPoint's powerful and automated process management system for the Lab Research environment enables you to focus more time on research and less time on record keeping.

In a typical research environment, the BioPoint system records the raw data and the results from all laboratory experiments and can connect to any standard or proprietary data acquisition system. Because this is an automated process, users are free to devote time to research rather than to recording clinical data.

BioPoint’s centralized and fully integrated database ensure that all critical lab information is both secure and readily accessible.

BioPoint stores the information in a central Oracle database and also has the ability to archive raw data, creating individual backups that can be submitted with regulatory submissions. Users have access to all information inside the BioPoint database and are also connected to additional drug discovery databases enabling trouble-free, comprehensive access to information. At any time in the discovery cycle, users can request forms and reports. BioPoint assists with CFR Part 11 compliance by providing a full audit trail from raw data acquisition through analysis and reporting.

Some of the powerful product features include:

• Colony Management/Ordering - Import animals, breeding, ancestor / descendent charts, animal profiles, historical info, groupings, facility census, IACUC assignment and tracking.
• Project/Assay Tracking - Workflow management, assay information storage, raw data tracking, reporting.
• Drug Discovery - Chemical structure building, search, inventory, structure drawing, integration with assay mgmt.
• Drug and Sample Inventory Management
• Location Management and Tracking - Buildings down to shelves in individual freezers.
• Cage Card Printing with bar codes
• Clinical Observations
• Rx Application/Surgery Tracking
• Breeding/Litter Management
• Cage Management
• IACUC Application Tracking, Logging, Facility Census
• Laboratory/Workflow Scheduling and Management
• Raw Data Importation and Archival
• Connection to third party analysis tools such as SAS

Not Just a LIMS Database provider…

There are a lot of LIMS database companies out there. BioPoint is the first Completely Integrated Life Sciences Data Management Solution. What makes BioPoint different from a typical LIMS database system? Simply put, BioPoint goes far beyond the typical LIMS product by providing a fully integrated platform for all of your validation needs. This includes:

Powerful User Applications…

BioPoint offers a wide range of integrated, web-based User Applications designed specifically to enable users to validate, track, and report on critical laboratory management activity. This includes colony management, laboratory studies, and general workflow management.

Links to Data Acquisition Hardware…

BioPoint processes feeds from leading laboratory hardware systems such as LabView from National Instruments or company-specific proprietary systems.

Drug Registration…

BioPoint seamlessly integrates with leading drug registration software such as CambridgeSoft’s ChemOffice.

Data Archival…

BioPoint stores and archives all laboratory management activity as required for auditing and regulatory reporting purposes such as CFR Part 11 compliance.

3rd Party Repository / Analysis…

BioPoint stores data in a robust Oracle database environment to fuel proprietary and 3rd party custom reporting and analysis tools such as SAS.

Data Imports…

BioPoint imports legacy data from Microsoft Excel and from proprietary applications into the BioPoint data warehouse.

Data Exports…

BioPoint exports data for use in Microsoft Excel, Word, and proprietary applications as required.

BioPoint’s Security platform restricts access to data and reports to only the people who need it.

In addition to the above, BioPoint offers uniquely powerful Security within the system at both the User Level and the Group level. Also offered is a robust Forms/Document Management system that allows easy access to the vast amount of data within the BioPoint system.

BioPoint’s Technology platform is built on a scaleable architecture that expands as you grow.

Built on a secure, scalable Oracle RDMS server and web server with web-based clients, BioPoint runs on standard Windows configurations including Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Finally, a smarter, more efficient way to manage the discovery and pre-clinical drug discovery process...

Rapid advances in science and technology have revolutionized the entire medical discovery and development process. Today's biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies are facing an increasingly competitive market with great opportunities and major challenges.

These challenges include:

• The advent of genomics, proteomics, miniaturization, and high-throughput biology technologies has generated the daunting task of managing an enormous explosion of data.
• The ever-increasing sophistication of transgenic animal models for discovery and pre-clinical studies warrants the integration of colony management with complex behavioral and drug-response study data.
• Higher levels of regulatory control have increased the critical demand for integrated systems with complete audit trails, efficient data access and robust reporting capabilities.

DiscoverTrac™, BioPoint’s flagship solution for discovery and pre-clinical data management and workflow enforcement processes helps companies face these challenges by:

• Shortening medical discovery project cycle time
• Improving workgroup efficiency and productivity
• Accelerating the federal compliance process
