LabKey Biologics represents materials in various phases of bioprocessing using Samples. Samples of many different types can be defined to represent your development process. They can be standalone compounds, they can have parentage/lineage, they can be aliquoted, used to derive new samples, or pooled. The lineage of samples you track may be both concretely real (such as a parent material or vial) and virtual (such as a Recipe and/or an Expression System used).

Sample Types define the fields and properties for the different kinds of samples in your system. Learn more about creating Sample Types and adding and managing Samples in the Sample Manager documentation:
