Track sample lineage end to end

Aliquots, derivations, and storage positions recorded so any result traces to its origin.

intermediate~35 minBioinformaticiansLab ScientistsRegulatory Affairs

Steps

1Assign unique IDs at receipt; barcode physically and digitally
2Record every derivation event: parent ID, process, date, operator
3Track storage position changes like transactions, not overwrites
4Enforce required fields at entry; free-text only for observations
5Reconcile physical inventory vs system quarterly
6Enable one-click lineage tree per final sample

Common Pitfalls

▲Spreadsheet-as-LIMS with silent column drift
▲Pooled samples losing constituent IDs
