Titian Software Mosaic 6.0 sample management software

Titian Software has launched Mosaic 6.0, the latest version of its sample management software. Suitable for the management of compounds, biologicals and reagents, the product includes intuitive interfaces for ordering and inventory searching and functions designed to streamline laboratory workflows. An optional Assay Requesting module is available, which is said to improve the efficiency of the assay requesting process.

The use of preconfigured order templates for frequently delivered sample formats allows researchers to submit routine orders in a simple and time-effective manner, freeing up time to focus on important research. A system with the Ordering functionality also features a global availability check to provide real-time feedback on sample location and format, across multisite organisations (served by the same Mosaic system).

The Inventory Search interface enables users to easily and swiftly scan the entire sample inventory to identify sets of samples based on substance and container parameters, eg, received date, collection and expiry date. Search criteria can be saved, published to all users and re-accessed, making it easy for users to identify and select substances required for an order request, generate inventory reports, export data or create specific pick-lists.

The optional Assay Requesting module enables requestors to order compounds to be prepared in the correct format to support the selected assays; and assay/sample bank managers to respond efficiently to assay requests. Submitted requests can be aggregated to optimise reagent and plate usage, thereby minimising the waste of samples, reagents and consumables.
