Workshop 9: Collec-Science, information system for sample management

Organizer: Alyssa Clavreul (AnaEE France)

Sample management is an issue for many scientists, both in analytical laboratories and on experimental setups. Previous work by AnaEE France in collaboration with the RARe infrastructure has raised several needs in the community, including identifying digital solutions for sample management. The Collec-Science tool, developed as open-source software by the EABX laboratory since 2016 (INRAE Bordeaux - Nouvelle Aquitaine research center) offers the possibility of managing samples simply and accurately. This session will present the tool and its main functionalities, and will include a discussion of the possibilities for using Collec-Science at individual level (platform and/or laboratory) and at infrastructure level to enable the exchange of sample information between platforms that have chosen to use Collec-Science.
