Contract Research Organisations (CROs)


Mosaic supports the compound management and screening services which CROs provide to their customers

Mosaic for CROs


Contract Research Organisations (CROs) worldwide use Mosaic sample management software to provide outsourced sample management and screening to their customers.

As CROs are often managing valuable samples, Mosaic ensures that the samples are only used for their intended purpose. Accurate record-keeping of sample use and distribution is essential.

Mosaic allows the requesting of samples for each of the customer’s clients, and can assist in the adherence to their commercial contracts where sample use may be subject to restrictions and exclusivity agreements.

Mosaic’s reliability supports the critical business operations:

Sample tracking and access control – both of these need to be securely managed to maintain confidentiality and traceability across different CRO customers.
Communication – this ensures work is transparent and progress is automatically reported, but only to the right teams.
Efficiency – Optimised automated and manual workflows, pre-validated processes and guidance of  the operators across multiple workstations are essential as it allows customers’ requests to meet agreed SLA’s.
Robustness, error management and recovery – at a CRO, everything is about reliability and minimising errors in order to provide a good service for clients
Compliance – Automatically track every sample preparation step via a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant audit; including who, what and when
Flexibility – many CROs need to manage a wide breadth of processes and sample types to accommodate a client’s needs.

Partner Portal

In order to allow biopharmas and other CRO customers to access the CRO's version of Mosaic, we have the 'Partner Portal'.

Customers can connect to the Partner Portal through any web browser and can access pages allowed by the CRO including: Requesting, Inventory Viewing and Canned Queries.

Connector

Our case study shows a 'Mosaic-to-Mosaic Connector' which provides seamless ordering of neats when both the customer and CRO are already using Mosaic software. It allows the customer to create and submit orders on their own system, but for the CRO to be able to fulfil the orders.

Case Study: Agios Pharmaceuticals: Biotech compound management in an age of change

Agios Pharmaceuticals – like many Biotech companies – uses a global network of contract research organisations (CROs) to run primary assays and hold much of its inventory. The challenge for Agios is to know what is happening to their samples across each research site.  

Add in the challenges of working in a global pandemic with disrupted supply chains, and coordinating compound management just got several levels harder. How do biotechs like Agios stay up to date with distributed inventory management and screening across many different partners? 

When implementing Mosaic sample management software, Agios wished to include secure access for its CRO partners who hold much of its physical inventory, with the aim of capturing exactly what Agios samples they were working with at all times.

“It’s clear for me, Mosaic is the number one asset of the value proposition when we discuss compound management with clients. For a client, if he says two years later ‘there is something wrong with this plate’ – we are able to come back to that run and know exactly if the run was interrupted. That audit trail for us is very, very essential. Even if it is not routinely used, the client knows he can refer to it.
It’s very positive for him."
