#### Mosaic software for critical reagents management

**Reagents are considered ‘critical’ if their variation can have a significant effect on the assay outcome. Critical reagents are one of the most expensive parts of a screening process so it is essential they are managed optimally. **

Critical reagents are very varied and often have a limited lifetime. They include binding proteins, aptamers, antibodies or conjugated antibodies, positive and negative controls, or reference standards. 

[**Mosaic **](https://www.titian.co.uk/en-us/products/mosaic?hsLang=en-us)software is ideally suited to critical reagent management. It accurately tracks all sample types throughout their lifetime, including lot parentage, freeze/thaw cycles, expiry dates, stock levels and disposal, plus automatic inventory updates – all backed by a full audit trail.

#### Mosaic supports critical reagent management through:

**Ensuring consistency and accountability by recording actions such as thawing, diluting, aliquoting and re-freezing in an audit trail

**Tracking lot-level validation status and sending email alerts for items approaching a revalidation date

**Monitoring inventory levels and sending email alerts when levels get low

**Managing any container type used for reagent storage to ensure an accurate inventory

**Ensuring users can find existing reagent stocks using robust search, rather than ordering duplicates

**Controlling access to:  
 - which reagents may be requested, and which are reserved  
 - storage locations

**Comprehensive storage management – including tools to:  
 - accurately model the entire hierarchy of sample storage  
 - identify appropriate free space for reagent storage  
 - provide reports and visualisation on freezer usage  
 - store and retrieve samples in bulk

**Making it easier to manage, find and share materials by recording data consistently using controlled vocabularies and validated data entry  
 - file attachments and hyperlinks capture certificates of analysis and datasheets

**Managing and tracking the requesting and delivering of reagents

**Ensuring reagents are labelled accurately by integrating label printing
