Case Study: Loyola University streamlines sample and inventory management with Genemod

How the Breuer Lab tracks their sample information at every step of their research

Loyola University’s Breuer Lab, which conducts cancer research, faced significant challenges in managing the detailed information for its large volume of antibodies and cell lines. Using Excel spreadsheets, researchers wasted time scrolling through files and clicking on cells to view full descriptions, making it difficult to efficiently track sample data. They sought a more centralized solution from vendor Genemod.

Genemod provided its inventory management solution to centralize the lab's sample information. The platform allowed the entire research team to easily view all detailed data for each sample and reagent on a single page, eliminating the need to search through multiple spreadsheets. This resulted in significant time savings, as researchers could quickly locate samples based on critical information, such as hormone status for breast cancer cells, and access shared data simultaneously.
