What is Sample Archiving?
Sample archiving is the process of long-term storage of samples for clinical audits or evidential purposes. For different types of recorded samples that are categorized as per their test departments, it is crucial to record all the information in archival. The lims sample tracking software helps archive samples without any mismatching or error.
Which test needs sample archiving?
- Histopathology tests
- Multi-stage sample testing
- Gene testing
- Molecular testing
- Oncology tests
- The cellular level of testing procedures
Why do we need a tracker to search archive samples using LIMS?
Lab sample tracking software helps in identifying the correct position of log samples to avoid redundant efforts in the future. It can also prevent reruns, repeat collection for the same procedure, and study. For example, tissue studies are common for cancer patients. However, if you need to remember the location you have to search the entire rack. Failing to find the location requires a repeat collection or reruns to begin the study all over again whereas clinical sample tracking software can help you search recorded samples faster.
