Summary Report

Any laboratory system should comply with GLP (Good Laboratory Practice), and Sample Tracker is no exception. Any changes to data are recorded along with the date and time of the change and identity of the user who made the change. All such historical data may be reported as required. In order to accommodate GLP, GMP and ISO9000 requirements, the system automatically records who performed essential functions related to a sample and when they occurred. Sample Tracker retains revisions of each record within the database which can be used to track the history of a sample.
