To find an open location for storing samples in the lab inventory. Navigate to the Inventory Browser within the Inventory tab. Select the storage unit or compartment in the navigation tree, click Overview, then Location.
Note: alternatively, users can visualise the storage availability using the Heatmap button. This generates a heatmap overview of the used storage capacity per compartment.
Select one of the three options from the Find Free Positions pop-out menu:
Search by Position - finds a specified number of consecutive free positions in a box
Search for empty compartments - finds an empty compartment in which no samples are stored
