Mosaic

The Mosaic software is designed to manage critical reagents that can impact assay outcomes significantly. These reagents are often costly components in the screening process, making their optimal management crucial.

Critical reagents, varied in nature and typically with limited lifespans, include binding proteins, aptamers, antibodies or conjugated antibodies, positive and negative controls, and reference standards. Mosaic ensures accurate tracking of these samples throughout their lifecycle, covering aspects such as lot parentage, freeze/thaw cycles, expiry dates, stock levels, and disposal, with automatic inventory updates and a complete audit trail.

Key Features of Mosaic:

• Maintains consistency and accountability by recording actions like thawing, diluting, aliquoting, and re-freezing in an audit trail.
• Tracks lot-level validation status and sends email alerts for reagents that need revalidation.
• Monitors inventory levels, providing alerts when stock is low.
• Manages diverse container types for storage to ensure an accurate inventory.
• Facilitates finding existing stocks via a robust search system, reducing duplicate orders.
• Controls reagent access, detailing which can be requested or reserved, and tracks storage locations.

Mosaic provides comprehensive storage management, using tools to model sample storage hierarchy accurately, identify available space, report and visualize freezer usage, and support bulk storage retrieval.

Furthermore, it streamlines managing, finding, and sharing materials by recording data consistently with controlled vocabularies. It also supports label accuracy through integrated label printing and attaches files and hyperlinks to capture necessary documentation.

The software aids in managing reagent requests and deliveries, ensuring consistency between original and new batches, with guidance available through its application notes on lifecycle management procedures.
