In a fertility lab, being able to prove where a sample has been is not a nice-to-have. Vitrify tracks every sperm, egg and embryo from entry to use, logs each handover between staff and links every lab entry to the patient record, so the history of a sample is written down rather than remembered.
This page is for lab leads and quality managers who answer for traceability. Each capability below already ships in Vitrify, sourced from lab management and ART bank software. Each links to where it is covered. The aim is simple: a sample you can always account for.
The lab management module logs and tracks every sperm, egg and embryo sample with a complete chain of custody, from pickup through culture and freezing to the final report. A sample has a recorded path rather than a gap where someone has to recall what happened.
Handover logs keep a clear record when a sample is passed between staff, so a change of hands is a written event. When a question comes up later, the moment of transfer is already in the system.
Each lab entry links straight to the patient record, with no double entries, so the sample, the step and the patient stay connected. Traceability does not depend on matching things across two systems by hand.
For donor and stored samples, ART bank software tracks each sperm, egg or embryo from entry to use with full traceability, so every sample and donor entry is protected and traceable. The bank can show how material moved when it needs to.
A clear chain of custody is what lets a clinic answer an audit calmly instead of scrambling, a point the blog on digital chain of custody works through. The record is built as the work happens, so the proof is already there.
Chain of custody is really one promise: any sample can be traced, at any time, back through every hand that touched it. Sample tracking, handover logs and a link to the patient record together keep that promise, for both the main lab and the donor bank.
