This white paper reviews the challenges and best practice for managing samples in your lab, and discusses where sample management software, such as Titian’s Mosaic, can bring you savings.

Efficient and viable management of your biobanks is imperative. This paper details some of the key factors that should be considered when choosing your sample management set-up.

For compound management groups that witness highly variable assay requests, a flexible preparation system serves an important streamlining function. This whitepaper explores the logistics of such operations and the solution provided by Mosaic software.

The new century has seen a surge in the need for tissue and other biological samples, with new collections arising almost daily. This whitepaper provides an overview of issues faced by researchers storing histology samples and explores how Mosaic software can provide solutions.

As high throughput technology has become common place, the increase in NBE generation presents the modern laboratory with several challenges. This article details some of the key hurdles and advice for successful NBE management.

Titian's Automated Stores (AMS) Module provides a seamless automated link between Mosaic and an automated store to enable efficient placing/picking of labware items

The VSLH module is one way to integrate liquid handling workflows. It is named VSLH after the variable span heads it was originally designed to support (Variable Span Liquid Handling), however it now includes Tecan and Hamilton multi-channel pipetting head options. This application note gives you an overview of how VSLH can be used with Mosaic to fulfil your liquid handling workflows in an automated and fully integrated way.

Titian and HighRes have collaborated to provide the life sciences user with a high quality, simple and effective solution to manage and track all of your research samples, processes and procedures. Titian’s Mosaic Sample Management software and HighRes’ Automation Platforms with Cellario combine to provide a truly seamless process in automated sample management order fulfilment.

This application note describes how the use of Mosaic Sample Management software along with the Labcyte Access allows for full integration of the sample preparation workflow with Labcyte’s suite of Echo applications software. This produces a reliable, versatile and intuitive integration between our two platforms.

This application note gives an overview of how the TTP Labtech liquid handling device mosquito can be integrated in Mosaic to fulfil your liquid handling operation workflows.

BioAscent has recommissioned its facility with Titian’s Mosaic sample management software at its core, enabling it to manage the entire Joined European Compound Library of the IMI-European Lead Factory. Read this case study to find out more about this partnership.

This application note discusses the key requirements for cell line inventory tracking, the benefits of centralisation for managing cell line banks and the efficiency gains which can also be applied to other sample types.

This application note looks at the requirements for a robust tool to cost-effectively provide sample oversight and workflow management to enable the effective storage, retrieval and processing of samples while making the most efficient use of supporting automated instrumentation.

From enterprise solutions to a single lab, Mosaic software is trusted by organisations across the globe. Mosaic provides rest-assured sample inventory, tracking and an error-free supply chain, to streamline your sample management for maximum productivity.

For close integration with your automation platform, Mosaic offers drivers and support for very wide range of instruments and devices, listed here.

Updating inventory management at Charles River. David Cronk, Director, HTS Sciences, talks about how Charles River needed to update an internal inventory management system to something industry standard and scalable. He discusses why they chose Titian’s Mosaic software, how they use it, and how essential it was to integrate it with other lab automation and data management tools.

Starting up with laboratory inventory: Relay’s experience Ted Peters, senior manager, discusses key points of laboratory inventory management crucial for start-up companies and how Relay Therapeutics managed them using Titian’s Mosaic software. He assesses how their implementation went and where it will go next.

Hear Toby Winchester from Titian Software at SLAS 2018 San Diego, describing how they have collaborated with AstraZeneca to bring to market a revolutionary sample management system capable of producing assay-ready plates for screening and other research applications, relying only on acoustic liquid handling to transfer samples directly from storage tubes.

Labcyte^® and Titian have enjoyed a collaborative partnership for many years. As this relationship continues to strengthen, customers see significant benefits:

• Improved throughput and response times
• Reduced error rates
• Sample conservation
• Cost savings from reduced labour associated with managing sample collections

Elizabeth Admirand, Principal Research Associate, discusses how entering the clinical stage drove changes to Epizyme’s sample management systems. She reviews their reasons for choosing Titian’s Mosaic software and how the implementation went.

Dalton Sides, Compound Management Automation Technologist, discusses managing St Jude’s upgrade from legacy sample management systems to Titian’s Mosaic software. He describes their experience of implementing and working with Mosaic.

BioAscent has recommissioned its facility with Titian’s Mosaic sample management software at its core, enabling it to manage the entire Joined European Compound Library of the IMI-European Lead Factory.

For frequently performed assays, the requestor can simply list the compounds to be run in their preferred assays. The preparation of the predefined assay items is then managed centrally and efficiently.

This video shows how Titian’s Mosaic FreezerManagement can drive picking and placing samples held in automated stores from a variety of manufacturers. Even more advanced functionality is available in other Mosaic editions, including automatic picking in response to orders

The Substance Type Editor feature in Mosaic sample management software allows users to easily create new substance types and their associated properties. This is essential to characterise samples effectively, and allow efficient inventory searches.

Easily create a substance, complete with a range of properties, in Mosaic’s sample management software.

Use Mosaic sample management software to easily create tubes of a substance for your inventory, including recording barcodes, labware type and sample details.

This Mosaic sample management software module drives a wide variety of 2D barcode scanners in order to pick and place tubes to manual stores, or to easily update tube positions in your inventory.
