samples to the various modules. Externally supplied analyzers are connected to
specific interfaces. The track structure is customizable and can be extended as
required.
Track Sample
Manager
The central software application between the laboratory automation system and the
laboratory information system. The Track Sample Manager provides the modules with
sample-specific information and instructions; controls and monitors sample transport
on the CARs; and provides statistics on performance, throughput, and system events.
track section
Components of the laboratory automation system that include floor and ceiling
sections and provide space for laboratory utility lines carrying electricity, water, or
wastewater.
Track Workflow
Manager
A software interface between the laboratory information system and the Track Sample
Manager of the GLP systems Track. Individual sample orders are translated into
preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical processing steps by using an algorithm.
