DianaTask 3: Data Storage
The LIMS system is used primarily as a reporting tool where users can enter
information about a test sample, such as the inspection number, the batch of
material it was extracted from, the date, time, location etc.
The LIMS system holds the details of the sample and the information pertaining to
where the sample is. As the sample moves through the testing process, the LIMS
system can be updated so that users where each sample is at any time. The tracking
of a sample can be performed by entering the sample number into the system and
manually entering the location or by using barcodes. When a sample is initially
entered into the system, the LIMS can print a barcode label with the unique sample
number.
