AutoFile®
Laboratory Sample Storage and Retrieval

There are four main functions in the AutoFile system:

1. System Resources Set Up
2. Sample Storage
3. Sample Query
4. Reports

You can define your own shelves, locations, rack type and racks to reflect the physical storage of your current system. An example is, sample 71532 is stored at the Pathology Laboratory, on the top shelf, in a rack of 10 rows by 10 columns, that will be expired in 10 days. Scanning or entering sample identification numbers automatically assigns samples to the next available storage position in a graphical display.

Clicking on any cell shows the sample number and, if removed, the comments associated with the removal. Entering a sample identification number in the Query mode gives the location of every sample matching that number. If the sample has been removed, it will show the comment associated with the removal. It is also possible to remove the samples at this point, either singly or in a batch. Two types of reports can be generated at any time in AutoFile: expired rack and removed samples. Every rack that has expired is included in the "Expired Rack" report, along with the racks' expiry dates, status (empty, partially filled or full), and location. You can empty all the expired rack at this stage. Every sample removed shows a comment entered at the time of removal, helping to track the location of removed samples. There is an option to return the sample if desired.
