Within eLabNext, you have the option to create individual samples as well as batches or groups of the same sample type, which are called Sample Series. By creating a sample series, you can add several tubes of the same type of sample into the lab inventory with ease. In the Sample List, the sample series are displayed as a single line, with the number of samples in the series included in brackets. You can expand the list by clicking the arrow to view the full sample series.
Click the sample series link to open the series information sheet, which lists the individual samples contained within the sample series as well as their storage locations. In this way, sample series can be used to effectively track stocks of important samples that are stored across different locations.
