Titian Software has launched v4.0 of its Mosaic sample management software at SBS 2010.
Applications of Mosaic 4.0 are extended to the enterprise-wide management of biological samples and reagents in many different types of life-science research organisations in industry and academia.
Mosaic 4.0 is said to build on the strengths of earlier versions, including modular scalability, advanced instrument integration, and comprehensive audit trail and genealogy tracking.
In response to the specific requirements of biological sample management, Mosaic 4.0 now incorporates enhanced modules for tracking manually accessed stores and manual operations, such as hand-pipetting, for smaller-scale operations.
A built-in substance registration system handles the allocation of substance identifiers and the capture of substance metadata, and Mosaic can still seamlessly link to external registration systems if required.
For higher-throughput laboratories, Mosaic 4.0 builds on its workflow management capability and array of integration modules for automated stores, liquid handlers and other instruments.
The functionality makes v4.0 well suited to the management of clinical trial samples and reagents, therapeutic and anti-drug antibodies, cell lines and biobank samples, in addition to small molecule compounds.
