In this article, we present the Laboratory Inventory Network Application (LINA), a software system that assists research laboratories in keeping track of their collections of biologically relevant materials. This open source application uses relational Microsoft Access database technology as a back end and a Microsoft .NET application as a front end. Preconstructed table templates are provided that contain standardized and customizable data fields. As new samples are added to the inventory, each is provided with a unique laboratory identifier, which is assigned automatically and sequentially, allowing rapid retrieval when a given reagent is required. The LINA contains a number of useful search tools including a general search, which allows database searches using up to four user-defined criteria. The LINA represents an easily implemented and useful organizational tool for biological laboratories with large numbers of strains, clones, or other reagents.
在本文中,我们介绍了实验室库存网络应用程序(LINA),这是一个软件系统,可协助研究实验室跟踪其生物相关材料的收藏。这个开源应用程序使用关系型Microsoft Access数据库技术作为后端,以Microsoft .NET应用程序作为前端。提供了预先构建的表格模板,其中包含标准化且可定制的数据字段。当新样本添加到库存中时,每个样本都会被赋予一个唯一的实验室标识符,该标识符会自动按顺序分配,以便在需要特定试剂时能够快速检索。LINA包含许多有用的搜索工具,包括常规搜索,它允许使用多达四个用户定义的标准进行数据库搜索。对于拥有大量菌株、克隆或其他试剂的生物实验室而言,LINA是一种易于实施且实用的组织工具。
