What Are the Key Components of a Sample Tracking System?
A comprehensive sample tracking system in histology typically includes the following components:
Labeling: Unique identifiers (e.g., barcodes or RFID tags) are assigned to each sample. Data Management: A database or laboratory information management system (LIMS) to record and store sample information. Chain of Custody: Documentation of all individuals who handle the sample, along with timestamps. Quality Control: Procedures to ensure the sample's condition is monitored and maintained.
