Your LIMS
- Collection, receipt, processing, QC, storage, and distribution
- Chain of custody, requests, retrieval, and specimen lifecycle
- Operational workflows your customers already rely on
( LIMS )
Add terminology governance around your LIMS.
DataSDR helps LIMS vendors and implementation teams support terminology versioning, mapping, recoding, and governed metadata publication without replacing the specimen-management system.
( Positioning )
LIMS manages samples. DataSDR manages changing standards.
DataSDR standards layer
- Terminology versions, codelists, and mapping governance
- Review workflows for affected specimen metadata
- Controlled release packages with audit trail
- API or bundle publication back to LIMS and downstream systems
Standards layer
( Standards layer )
Govern terminology changes, map affected specimen metadata, and publish approved releases back to your LIMS.

( Integration points )
Where DataSDR fits
- Terminology and codelist repository
- Version history for standards used in specimen metadata
- Mapping between old and current terminology releases
- Review workflow for affected records
- Approved recoding/upcoding release packages
- API delivery back to LIMS or downstream systems
( Use cases )
Use cases for LIMS providers
- Offer terminology governance as an extension to sample management
- Support customer-specific taxonomies and coding rules
- Help clients review and publish updated metadata
- Integrate mapping and recoding services into existing workflows
- Differentiate without rebuilding the LIMS core
( Architecture )
Integration model
DataSDR can operate as a standards-governance layer beside the LIMS. It can import terminology and specimen metadata extracts, manage mappings and review workflows, then publish approved updates through APIs or release packages.
- Import extracts from LIMS without replacing specimen workflows
- Govern mappings and review in a controlled catalog
- Publish approved metadata back through APIs or release bundles
( Fit )
Good partner fit
- LIMS vendors serving biobanks, public health, CROs, pharma, research institutions, or healthcare
- Implementation teams asked to support terminology changes after go-live
- Biorepositories with long-lived specimens and evolving metadata requirements
