Biomatrica has released Sampleware 3.1, a software system for laboratory inventory, organisation and management of biological samples.
The latest release includes an audit-trail functionality that tracks user and date stamps to provide a more complete history of any stored sample.
The addition of the audit trail feature is said to offer customers the ability to track all events occurring to any sample stored in laboratory freezers or cabinets.
Sampleware allows laboratory managers to import sample data into the system, copy data from sample files within the system, and transfer physical samples - along with corresponding data - between departments.
Biomatrica's product line of biostability reagents - DNAstable, RNAstable, Clonestable, and DNAgard - are barcoded and integrate with Sampleware to enable a simple transition to online sample documentation.
The Sampleware system is also compatible with RFID (radio frequency identification), making it easy for laboratories to incorporate RFID technology into their sample management methodology.
Sampleware is available in three editions: Desktop, Network and Basic, depending on the size and scale of the laboratory.
Sampleware Desktop Edition is a single-user version with unlimited storage capacity.
Sampleware Network Edition allows for multi-user functionality with the purchase of additional network licenses as needed.
Sampleware Basic is a single-user version limited to storage of 5,000 samples.
