Record

  • Record samples and associated artefacts from your lab, all in one place.
  • Use QR coding system to store digital representations of your physical samples.
  • Define an arbitrary number of sample types and relationships, creating detailed profiles of your samples upon input

Track

  • Systematically arrange your data for ease of access, speeding up the process of locating your samples. 
  • Hierarchical classification feature allows for clear visualisation of sample relationships. 
  • Never lose your progress or repeat your work. 

Configure

  • Customise Ampletracks to your unique laboratory needs. 
  • Build record types, object data and relationships freely. 
  • Embed recorded samples with meta data that is important to your laboratory, providing rich profiling that contextualises your input.

Key Features

  • Variable record management

    • Define and handle an arbitrary number of record types, allowing for the tracking of distinct items including samples, documents and equipment.  
    • Define differing data fields within records of the same type. 

  • Hierarchical Records

    • Create clear visualisations of the relationships between your records.  
    • Show sample lineage through hierarchical mapping. 
    • Record to record relationships represent the processes used in your lab. 

  • Customisable user permissions

    • Configure Ampletracks settings and permissions to suit to your unique user needs.
    • Choose user permissions in line with your project and manage how your data is used. 

  • Define record relationships (link records)

    • Assign parent-child relationship hierarchies between records of the same type 
    • Visualise sample family trees representing processes used in your lab
    • Mark the values of some data fields as being inherited from the parent record 

  • Digitise physical objects with QR codes

    • Use QR tags to classify your physical objects.  
    • Create rich descriptions of your samples and arrange them in relation to your other samples, creating detailed digital representations of your work. 

Testimonials

  • Rhys Thomas, Zr Group, Henry Royce Institute, Department of Materials, University of Manchester
    Tracking the whereabouts, provenance and processing history of samples is essential for accurate reporting and efficient running of experiments. By linking sample details to data storage location, time is not wasted repeating measurements which have already been performed. The Ampletracks platform provides a hierarchical database which allows all this information to be entered, viewed and linked in a simple web interface. The platform is flexible enough to also be useful for simulations and tracking of experimental equipment.
  • Joshua Collins, Steels Group, Henry Royce Institute, Department of Materials, University of Manchester
    I have accumulated hundreds of samples during my PhD, but Ampletracks makes it very easy to keep track of where they are and their relationships to each other.
