==Product history==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

==Product history==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

==Product history==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd |archivedate=05 November 2013 |accessdate=08 May 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Krishagni also offered fee-based support services for the free software. &lt;br /&gt;
 		 	&lt;br /&gt;
In July 2014, Krishangi revealed caTissue Plus was being rewritten as OpenSpecimen, with the rewrite tentatively set to be complete by March 2015. The company stated on their website: &amp;quot;caTissue is a 10 year old code base. The design and architecture is old technology-based, difficult to maintain and add new featured [sic] on top of it.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSConf&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://catissueplus.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CAT/OpenSpecimen |title=OpenSpecimen |work=OpenSpecimen Support Center |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

==Product history==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

==Product history==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

==Product history==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

==Product history==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

==Product history==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen was originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caTissue]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

'''OpenSpecimen''' developed by Krishagni Solutions (India), is a free and open source [[biobank|biobanking]] informatics platform that is used in 20+ biobanks in 8 countries across the globe. OpenSpecimen streamlines the process of collecting high quality standards (SNOMED, LOINC, ICD, etc) based data. Using OpenSpecimen one can collect disease specific annotations, clinical and pathology data, any study specific parameters, patient questionnaires, QA/QC data, specimen lifecycle events, and any other site specific custom data. OpenSpecimen also supports a robust reporting module to get data out across all types of datasets. The key features are participant registration, informed consents, storage containers &amp;amp; inventory, specimen requests, distribution, shipping and tracking, upload Excel/CSV and so forth. OpenSpecimen exposes REST APIs for easy integration with other clinical databases and instruments. Also the APIs can be used to develop custom user interfaces and workflows to suit the local needs.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The software comes in a free Community edition and a priced Enterprise edition, with the various Pro versions including support and additional plug-ins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSPriceSupp&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/pricing |title=OpenSpecimen Professional Support Services |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

'''OpenSpecimen''' developed by Krishagni Solutions (India), is a free and open source [[biobank|biobanking]] informatics platform that is used in 20+ biobanks in 8 countries across the globe.

Using OpenSpecimen one can collect disease specific annotations, clinical and pathology data, any study specific parameters, patient questionnaires, QA/QC data, specimen lifecycle events, and any other site specific custom data.

'''OpenSpecimen''' developed by Krishagni Solutions (India), is a free and open source [[biobank|biobanking]] informatics platform that is used in 20+ biobanks in 8 countries across the globe. OpenSpecimen streamlines the process of collecting high quality standards (SNOMED, LOINC, ICD, etc) based data. Using OpenSpecimen one can collect disease specific annotations, clinical and pathology data, any study specific parameters, patient questionnaires, QA/QC data, specimen lifecycle events, and any other site specific custom data. OpenSpecimen also supports a robust reporting module to get data out across all types of datasets. The key features are participant registration, informed consents, storage containers &amp;amp; inventory, specimen requests, distribution, shipping and tracking, upload Excel/CSV and so forth. OpenSpecimen exposes REST APIs for easy integration with other clinical databases and instruments.

'''OpenSpecimen''' developed by Krishagni Solutions (India), is a free and open source [[biobank|biobanking]] informatics platform that is used in 20+ biobanks in 8 countries across the globe. OpenSpecimen streamlines the process of collecting high quality standards (SNOMED, LOINC, ICD, etc) based data. Using OpenSpecimen one can collect disease specific annotations, clinical and pathology data, any study specific parameters, patient questionnaires, QA/QC data, specimen lifecycle events, and any other site specific custom data. OpenSpecimen also supports a robust reporting module to get data out across all types of datasets. The key features are participant registration, informed consents, storage containers &amp;amp; inventory, specimen requests, distribution, shipping and tracking, upload Excel/CSV and so forth. OpenSpecimen exposes REST APIs for easy integration with other clinical databases and instruments. Also the APIs can be used to develop custom user interfaces and workflows to suit the local needs.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The software comes in a free Community edition and a priced Enterprise edition, with the various Pro versions including support and additional plug-ins.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSPriceSupp&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/pricing |title=OpenSpecimen Professional Support Services |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

'''OpenSpecimen''' developed by Krishagni Solutions (India), is a free and open source [[biobank|biobanking]] informatics platform that is used in 20+ biobanks in 8 countries across the globe. OpenSpecimen streamlines the process of collecting high quality standards (SNOMED, LOINC, ICD, etc) based data. Using OpenSpecimen one can collect disease specific annotations, clinical and pathology data, any study specific parameters, patient questionnaires, QA/QC data, specimen lifecycle events, and any other site specific custom data. OpenSpecimen also supports a robust reporting module to get data out across all types of datasets. The key features are participant registration, informed consents, storage containers &amp;amp; inventory, specimen requests, distribution, shipping and tracking, upload Excel/CSV and so forth. OpenSpecimen exposes REST APIs for easy integration with other clinical databases and instruments.

'''OpenSpecimen''' developed by Krishagni Solutions (India), is a free and open source [[biobank|biobanking]] informatics platform that is used in 20+ biobanks in 8 countries across the globe.

==Product history==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen is originally developed by Krishagni as caTissue Plus, a free open-source [[biobank|biobanking]] [[laboratory information management system|LIMS]]/[[laboratory information system|LIS]] heavily modeled after the [[National Cancer Institute]]'s [[National Cancer Institute#caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue|caLIMS]] product.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

&lt;br /&gt;
Krishagni is happy to release OpenSpecimen &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSConf&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://catissueplus.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CAT/OpenSpecimen |title=OpenSpecimen |work=OpenSpecimen Support Center |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

OpenSpecimen is a series of releases to rewrite caTissue. The complete rewrite is expected to complete by Mar 2015. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why rewrite caTissue?&lt;br /&gt;
1. To transform caTissue to a highly scalable, configurable, robust, high performance, and enterprise grade software.&lt;br /&gt;
2. caTissue is a 10 year old code base. The design and architecture is old technology-based, difficult to maintain and add new featured on top of it.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Apply lessons learnt in the last 10 years of supporting and interacting with the global biobanking community.&lt;br /&gt;

'''Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd.''' develops and distributes clinical [[laboratory informatics]] software solutions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
caTissue Plus, developed by Krishagni, is an Enterprise version of [[National Cancer Institute|NCI]] caTissue &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd |archivedate=05 November 2013 |accessdate=08 May 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; with lots of &lt;br /&gt;
improvements over NCI caTissue - i.e., many new features, better user interface, and much faster. Most importantly, like NCI caTissue, it is free and open source and follows the same caBIG license.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krishagni is happy to release OpenSpecimen &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSConf&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://catissueplus.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CAT/OpenSpecimen |title=OpenSpecimen |work=OpenSpecimen Support Center |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd |date=21 July 2014 |accessdate=16 September 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; - An Open Source Biobanking Informatics &amp;quot;Platform&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen is a series of releases to rewrite caTissue. The complete rewrite is expected to complete by Mar 2015. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why rewrite caTissue?&lt;br /&gt;
1. To transform caTissue to a highly scalable, configurable, robust, high performance, and enterprise grade software.&lt;br /&gt;
2. caTissue is a 10 year old code base. The design and architecture is old technology-based, difficult to maintain and add new featured on top of it.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Apply lessons learnt in the last 10 years of supporting and interacting with the global biobanking community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

'''Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd.''' develops and distributes clinical [[laboratory informatics]] software solutions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
caTissue Plus, developed by Krishagni, is an Enterprise version of [[National Cancer Institute|NCI]] caTissue &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd |archivedate=05 November 2013 |accessdate=08 May 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; with lots of &lt;br /&gt;
improvements over NCI caTissue - i.e., many new features, better user interface, and much faster. Most importantly, like NCI caTissue, it is free and open source and follows the same caBIG license.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krishagni is happy to release OpenSpecimen &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSConf&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://catissueplus.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CAT/OpenSpecimen |title=OpenSpecimen |work=OpenSpecimen Support Center |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd |date=21 July 2014 |accessdate=16 September 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; - An Open Source Biobanking Informatics &amp;quot;Platform&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen is a series of releases to rewrite caTissue. The complete rewrite is expected to complete by Mar 2015. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why rewrite caTissue?&lt;br /&gt;
1. To transform caTissue to a highly scalable, configurable, robust, high performance, and enterprise grade software.&lt;br /&gt;
2. caTissue is a 10 year old code base. The design and architecture is old technology-based, difficult to maintain and add new featured on top of it.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Apply lessons learnt in the last 10 years of supporting and interacting with the global biobanking community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Technology and products==&lt;br /&gt;

improvements over NCI caTissue - i.e., many new features, better user interface, and much faster. Most importantly, like NCI caTissue, it is free and open source and follows the same caBIG license.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krishagni is happy to release OpenSpecimen &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSConf&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://catissueplus.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CAT/OpenSpecimen |title=OpenSpecimen |work=OpenSpecimen Support Center |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt.

OpenSpecimen is a series of releases to rewrite caTissue. The complete rewrite is expected to complete by Mar 2015. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why rewrite caTissue?&lt;br /&gt;
1. To transform caTissue to a highly scalable, configurable, robust, high performance, and enterprise grade software.&lt;br /&gt;
2. caTissue is a 10 year old code base. The design and architecture is old technology-based, difficult to maintain and add new featured on top of it.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Apply lessons learnt in the last 10 years of supporting and interacting with the global biobanking community.&lt;br /&gt;

'''Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd.''' develops and distributes clinical [[laboratory informatics]] software solutions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
caTissue Plus, developed by Krishagni, is an Enterprise version of [[National Cancer Institute|NCI]] caTissue &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd |archivedate=05 November 2013 |accessdate=08 May 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; with lots of &lt;br /&gt;
improvements over NCI caTissue - i.e., many new features, better user interface, and much faster. Most importantly, like NCI caTissue, it is free and open source and follows the same caBIG license.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krishagni is happy to release OpenSpecimen &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSConf&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=https://catissueplus.atlassian.net/wiki/display/CAT/OpenSpecimen |title=OpenSpecimen |work=OpenSpecimen Support Center |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd |date=21 July 2014 |accessdate=16 September 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; - An Open Source Biobanking Informatics &amp;quot;Platform&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen is a series of releases to rewrite caTissue. The complete rewrite is expected to complete by Mar 2015. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why rewrite caTissue?&lt;br /&gt;
1. To transform caTissue to a highly scalable, configurable, robust, high performance, and enterprise grade software.&lt;br /&gt;
2. caTissue is a 10 year old code base. The design and architecture is old technology-based, difficult to maintain and add new featured on top of it.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Apply lessons learnt in the last 10 years of supporting and interacting with the global biobanking community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Technology and products==&lt;br /&gt;

===OpenSpecimen===&lt;br /&gt;

'''Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd.''' develops and distributes clinical [[laboratory informatics]] software solutions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
caTissue Plus, developed by Krishagni, is an Enterprise version of [[National Cancer Institute|NCI]] caTissue &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;OSAbout&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105105123/http://www.catissueplus.org/plus |title=caTissue Plus - Feature rich, Faster, Better UI |publisher=Krishagni Solutions Pvt. Ltd |archivedate=05 November 2013 |accessdate=08 May 2013}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; with lots of &lt;br /&gt;
improvements over NCI caTissue - i.e., many new features, better user interface, and much faster. Most importantly, like NCI caTissue, it is free and open source and follows the same caBIG license.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krishagni is happy to release OpenSpecimen - An Open Source Biobanking Informatics &amp;quot;Platform&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
OpenSpecimen is a series of releases to rewrite caTissue. The complete rewrite is expected to complete by Mar 2015. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why rewrite caTissue?&lt;br /&gt;
1. To transform caTissue to a highly scalable, configurable, robust, high performance, and enterprise grade software.&lt;br /&gt;
2. caTissue is a 10 year old code base. The design and architecture is old technology-based, difficult to maintain and add new featured on top of it.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Apply lessons learnt in the last 10 years of supporting and interacting with the global biobanking community.&lt;br /&gt;
