Sample Tracking

Sample tracking is a system used in laboratories and other settings to monitor the movement and status of samples—such as blood, tissue, or chemical substances—throughout processing. It involves assigning unique identifiers to each sample and recording key information like collection time, location, and handling steps. This ensures accurate record-keeping, prevents mix-ups, and allows for quick retrieval of data. By tracking samples diligently, organizations can maintain quality control, comply with regulations, and ensure reliable results from analysis or testing.
