What Tools and Systems Can Assist in Documentation?
Several tools and systems can aid in maintaining proper documentation:
Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS): These systems help in managing samples, tracking workflows, and storing data electronically. Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs): ELNs allow for digital recording of observations and procedures, which can be easily searched and shared. Barcoding: Using barcodes to label samples ensures accurate tracking and minimizes human errors. Imaging Software: Advanced imaging software can store and analyze microscopic images, linking them directly to the sample data.
