Resources
• Samples: Pathology Depts/Clinical Labs
• BWH labs discard >5000 clinical samples/day
• >2 million/year
• Partners hospitals: >20,000 samples/day
• BWH AP >200,000 samples/year
• LIS/APLIS: Structured data/match samples.
• Basic demographic data
• Tests ordered, results
• Diagnostic codes, reports
Crimson
• Spans Clinical -> Research systems to acquire
materials under an IRB.
• Developed with Daedalus Software Inc. in
Cambridge, MA
• (1) Identify discarded materials (2) process
submitted/consented research samples.

Study/IRB Registration & management.
LIMS system: Manage lab workflow and resulting.
Criteria Engine: Identify discarded materials.
Billing system: Recoup costs for services.

Impact of Crimson on Sample Throughput
Higher throughput at lower cost: “More for less”
Low throughput example: Study1
• PI needs ~40 samples+controls to test proof
of concept for autoantibody antigen.
• Samples not available from banks; no access
to local clinics, nor staff to perform consent.
• Given time & effort to set up protocol, consent
process, considers costs “infinite”
Study 1: Crimson Collection
• Query to find appropriate discarded
serum samples (anonymzied).
• Costs of collection: $8-9/sample.
• ~10 samples/month + 10 controls.
• Collection completed in 2 months.
• Grant submitted to NIH on findings.
Medium Throughput Example: Study 8
• >1000 Consented patients in study
• DNA and plasma to measure stable analytes.
• Daily samples while patients in the hospital.
• $18/sample for phlebotomy+processing in
Specimen Bank
• + $20+/Sample in study coordinator effort to
arrange phlebotomy and processing
Study 8: Crimson collection
• Coordinators register consented patients in
Crimson under their study
• Crimson query identifies discarded purple tops
from clinical labs.
• Cost: $8/sample + $1-2 coordinator’s time to
register patients in Crimson.
• >60% reduction in sample costs.
• Estimated 10-20% increase in productivity of
study staff and consent rate.
High throughput example: Study 4
• Study desires 10,000 samples for
epidemiologic analyses
• Avg. cost/sample for the study: $1,200
• $12,000,000 to collect 10K samples
• Throughput of 5-10 samples/month
• 120 years to collect 10K with current
process.
Study 4: Crimson Collection
• Forwarded cohorts via i2b2
• Avg cost for collection: $8-9/sample
• Costs for collection of 10K samples: $85,000
• Avg throughput:
• 4-600 samples/month (1 Crimson node)
• 1000+ with 2 Crimson nodes operational.
• Collection of controls in <1 year
• Experimental samples in 1.5 - 4 years.
Crimson
• It works!
• Successful high-throughput sample
collection for many studies.
• Significant cost-savings to investigators
and research enterprise.
• Enabling communication with i2b2.
• Multiple Crimson nodes for collection.
