In biobanks and laboratory settings, it’s not just new samples that are generated—existing samples are also transferred, released, or permanently disposed of. Without structured reports, it can be difficult to keep track of inventory and capacity.
BioARCHIVE therefore supplements the flexible report generator with standardized analyses that provide key information in a structured format.
Overview of Biobank Content
A consolidated overview shows all managed samples and storage structures.
Capacity Analysis of Boxes
Standard reports provide information on:
- empty boxes
- partially filled boxes
- shared boxes
- available remaining capacity
This makes it possible to see where there is still space available and where bottlenecks occur.
Transaction Summaries
In addition, restructuring measures are documented transparently:
- relocated boxes
- reallocated aliquots
- aliquots that have been permanently transferred or deleted
This information supports not only operational management but also quality control and documentation requirements.
Summary
Standardized reports complement flexible data queries with clearly structured overviews. They provide transparency regarding inventory levels, movements, and capacities—and enable well-informed planning of resources and warehouse structures.
