Biomaterials

Biomaterials – LIS Module

The Biomaterials section in the Laboratory Information System (LIS) module allows you to manage the biological materials required for laboratory tests (e.g., Whole Blood, Serum, Plasma). These biomaterials are later linked to Lab Tests for accurate sample handling and process tracking.

1. Creating Biomaterials

Navigation:

Directories > Laboratory Dictionaries > Biomaterials > + Create Record

Steps to Create a Biomaterial:

1. Click + Create Record.

2. Fill in the following parameters:

   • Title (Mandatory) – Full name of the biomaterial (e.g., Whole Blood, Serum).

   • Container – Select the container type from the pre-created list (e.g., EDTA Tube, Urine Cup).

   • Code – Enter the internal or external code for the biomaterial.

3. Click Save to add the biomaterial to the system.

2. Viewing the Biomaterials List & Biomaterial Card

Navigation:

Directories > Laboratory Dictionaries > Biomaterials

Biomaterials List Features:

• Displays all created biomaterials in a table with columns:

  • Title – Name of the biomaterial

  • ID – System-generated identifier

  • Activity – Status (Active / Disabled)

• Tools Available:

  • Show Hidden Toggle – View inactive/disabled biomaterials

  • Table Search Bar – Quickly find biomaterials by name

Biomaterial Card

• Click on the biomaterial name to open its card.

• The card contains:

  • Object Tab: Displays details entered during creation.

• Actions Available:

  • Edit – Update biomaterial details

  • Disable – Mark as inactive (does not delete the record)

3. Using Biomaterials in Other Lab Dictionaries

• Biomaterials created in this section are used in:

  • Lab Tests Dictionary – Assign a biomaterial to each lab test for sample collection requirements.

• Navigation:
  Directories > Laboratory Dictionaries > Lab Tests > Create or Edit Test
