For biobanks and laboratories looking to securely organize and track their stored samples - the new version 4.903 Track-IT™ Information management system from Micronic enables users to scan tube codes directly into the software.

With Micronic Traxcer code reader software now fully integrated with Track-IT - users can directly trigger tube or rack barcode scanning from the Track-IT program. The new version of the automation friendly information management solution allows you to scan in only 5 seconds and transfer the codes directly into the Track-IT database program. Using this unique capability - laboratories can markedly speed up their sample storage process compared to database programs in which users need to upload spread sheets with scanned tube or rack codes.

Track-IT is a unique out-of-the-box LIMS/LIS solution designed to enable scientists to organize and securely track their storage tubes and samples in mere seconds. Fully compatible with most commercial barcode readers, rack scanners and Tubesorter systems - Track-IT allows you to catalogue and organize samples quickly and efficiently. The central information database produced by Track-IT is customizable to match the workflow of your laboratory, as well as to match the unique aspects of different sample types. Track-IT has been designed to empower laboratory scientists to simply manage sample data and information and make it available to other colleagues in their organization.

Built around independent modules that can interact with each other, version 4.903 Track-IT software is able to manage a wide variety of day-to-day useful lab information. The main concept behind Track-IT is that each scientist in the lab can quickly manage data and information and make it available to the rest of the lab community. Using Intranet support, data can be accessed from any connected computer in the lab, which accelerates information retrieval. Consequently laboratory staff spends less time on recurrent and time-consuming operations and dedicate more precious time to research activity.

Track-IT allows you to simply import data from existing files into a common presentation, undertake cross database searches, quickly retrieve information and produce reports. Combining reliability, efficiency and ease of use with affordability a single Track-IT license covers all users within an organization.

LIMSLIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is an informatics software system used to improve the quality assurance and quality control (QA / QC) of data management. LIMS can be a standard for common lab workflows, such as commercial off the shelf systems (COTS), or customized for more specialized lab use. Systems are available for mainframe computers or PC.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Storage SolutionsSample StoragePreserving clinical trial samples to the highest standards is a critical component in maximizing the value of present day and future clinical research. Specialized storage and transportation of these tissue, blood and serum samples reduces the risk of them being damaged or lost.
