The brief

Funded by Innovate UK, an agency of the UK government, MDC are an independent not-for-profit company bringing together a fragmented UK sector of industry, academia, charities, technologists, services, finance companies, SMEs and start-ups who together can turn good science into new, high value products.

By sharing problems, rare expertise and assets we support the growth of this new community through a time of radical business and national change.

MDC requires a robust Electronic Quality Management System (eQMS) to support business growth and new projects involving clinical samples.

The new eQMS is required to provide full traceability for all activities pertaining to clinical samples, whilst also supporting MDC’s operations at large.
