OpenSpecimen is a free and open source biobanking informatics platform that is used in 20+ biobanks in eight countries across the globe.[4] OpenSpecimen streamlines the process of collecting high quality standards-based (SNOMED, LOINC, ICD, etc) data. OpenSpecimen allows users to collect disease-specific annotations, clinical and pathology data, study-specific parameters, patient questionnaires, QA/QC data, specimen lifecycle events, and any other site-specific custom data. OpenSpecimen also contains a reporting module extract data from all types of datasets. OpenSpecimen exposes REST APIs to enable integration with other clinical databases and instruments.

The company stated on their website: "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."[7] On July 22, release candidate one of the software was released to GitHub.[8] Several other release candidates were made available, culminating in the first version 1.0 stable release of the software on September 25.[1]
