With the Inventory module in eLabNext, users can track specimens, chemicals, samples, and consumables stored anywhere within their lab. Users can easily navigate through the lab's storage locations to find or store a sample. Users can also define lab-specific sample types through custom sample types to create samples such as cell lines, plant seeds, tissue, forensic specimens, bacterial strains, and antibodies. All samples stored in the lab can be linked to experiments in the Journal module so that all historical data on samples can be traced and logged. For labs only interested in the inventory and sample tracking system, the Inventory module is also available as the stand-alone system within the eLabNext Digital Lab Platform.
