An alternative to a full function Lims, without the associated overhead of managing test results, is claimed by this laboratory sample tracking system
Sample Tracker from Autoscribe is said to be an alternative to a full function Lims, which does not have the associated overhead of managing test results.
Fast to install and easy to use, Sample Tracker operates on Windows 98, NT, 2000 and XP, either as a standalone workstation or as a network application.
It is supplied complete with a MS Access database, andc provides a quick and easy way to monitor the progress of all samples through the laboratory as well as giving good visibility on how laboratory resources are employed.
The software allows the automatic or manual registration of samples or tasks, and allocates an operator responsible for the work.
Samples or tasks may move from one operator to another; this transfer, or chain of custody, is tracked with operator identity, time, and date.
The automatic monitoring of outstanding work by means of worksheets and work lists means that tests allocated to samples may be checked when completed.
A selection of standard reporting forms is included with Sample Tracker, and an option facilitates the development of further customised reports.
Cost competitive, yet fully featured Sample Tracker is available for immediate delivery.
