"Once a sample is generated, the sample history and what experiments it has been used in can be read in the samples sheet. So you not only know what happened to your samples (i.e. how many freeze/thaws), but also who used the sample. Offspring of your sample can easily be tracked. This is vital sample management."

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about our Sample Management

Can I import samples into the system?

Yes, our platform provides a simple tool for importing existing sample data from your lab's inventory collections. You can use our pre-designed Excel templates to input specimen details, strains, or other data for seamless import into the system. We also offer migration services as part of the initial lab setup to ensure a smooth transition, delivering a ready-to-use solution. This process makes it easy to transfer large amounts of sample data efficiently and get your lab up and running quickly.

Can I change sample types?

Yes, sample types are only templates for storing sample information. If you change a sample type configuration by adding or removing fields, the existing samples’ info is unaffected. In case a field is removed, the stored data in this field for stored samples remains available. When a field is added, the field is appended to the sample entry form.

Can I manage sample storage and track their locations in real-time?

Yes, our LIMS provides real-time sample tracking and allows you to manage storage locations, ensuring traceability and quick sample retrieval.

Does eLabNext offer audit trails for sample management?

Absolutely. Our platform provides detailed audit trails, ensuring transparency by tracking every interaction with your samples, from creation to disposal.

Can I integrate sample management with my Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN)?

Yes, sample data can seamlessly integrate with your ELN, allowing you to link experiment data and streamline workflows for better research efficiency.

Can I customize sample categories and fields?

Yes, our platform allows you to create custom sample fields and categories to match your lab's unique requirements, ensuring accurate sample classification and management.
