SMARTER SAMPLE TRACKING SOLUTIONS
INDEXOR USE CASES
Streamline Sample Archiving Processes
CHALLENGE
Sample archive management is a critical step in laboratory workflows, involving the storage, organization, retrieval, and disposal of samples.
Despite its importance, this process is often overlooked when improving lab efficiency and is typically addressed through heavy automation solutions that can be costly and complex to maintain.
COMMON ISSUES
Limited visibility of samples with different expiration dates, leading to over-archiving
Difficulty locating samples, resulting in time-consuming searches
Challenges in identifying duplicate samples
Shortage of storage space
Shortage of processing space to manage sample handling tasks
Manual recording of sample disposal in the Laboratory Information System (LIS)
HOW INDEXOR HELPS
Indexor simplifies archive management by providing tools that enhance visibility and streamline processes without requiring large-scale automation. Key capabilities include:
Expired Sample Identification:
Automatically flags samples past their validity threshold and shows affected racks for efficient removal
Quick Search:
Instantly locates samples by ID and provides visual indicators for easy retrieval
Duplicate Detection:
Identifies duplicate samples for better organization
Flexible Storage Periods:
Allows creation of different archive timelines beyond the general threshold
Smaller Footprint:
Can help reduce the amount of space needed within the lab for sample handling and pre-archival tasks
Automated Disposal Recording:
Registers sample elimination in the LIS when racks are cleared, reducing manual steps
INDEXOR BENEFITS
