The very first step a lab should do when a new sample arrives is log the sample in. Most LIMS do not have a Sample Check In feature and labs resort to logging in samples using a classic bound book. This causes wasted time and extra work. BTLIMS has a Sample Check In tool that allows a sample to be logged into the system immediately. Within seconds of the sample’s arrival, the laboratory is able to begin the necessary preparations and is therefore able to have a quicker turnaround result.
