Quality Systems International (QSI) in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, UK has developed a sample tracking system as part of its WinLims software, which enables a sample or sub samples to be tracked to their storage or processing locations.
The system, which is also able to identify who is responsible for the sample at the various locations, is for use by research laboratories in the biosciences and healthcare sectors. The company says manufacturers who deal with split sample methods will also find it helps improve production efficiencies.
The new sample tracking system enables all transactions to be time, date and user stamped throughout the complete workflow. It is also capable of tracking as many sub samples as required.
The company says it is ideal for recording and monitoring blood analysis procedures where an original sample may be blood and the sub samples plasma or plasma components such as proteins, hormones, enzymes or fatty acids. The system can also be used to record the required storage methods allocated to the sample type.
‘In the past, QSI has produced custom solutions for the sample tracking needs of clients,’ said Clive Collier, QSI’s managing director. ‘But now, in keeping with our ‘out of the box’ LIMS philosophy, we have created a standard sample tracking solution to meet the needs of the marketplace.’
