SLOTS™
Reagent inventory, specimen storage, and cataloging built for lab continuity.
SLOTS keeps critical inventory and specimens organized with precise location tracking, traceability, and integration-ready workflows — standalone or as part of the Solasta suite.
Why SLOTS?
Inventory accuracy
Reduce stockouts and manual errors with real-time reagent visibility and automated alerts.
Faster retrieval
Locate specimens quickly across complex storage configurations with a mapped visual interface.
Audit-ready cataloging
Maintain chain-of-custody and usage history for every critical item, ready for inspection.
Reagent inventory
Track lot numbers, expiry dates, and stock levels with full traceability.
- Lot number and expiry tracking with configurable minimum stock alerts
- Receiving, usage, and disposal events logged for complete inventory history
- Expired or low-stock reagents flagged before they impact active workflows
Specimen storage
Map storage locations across freezers, racks, and boxes with rapid retrieval.
- Visual storage map with drill-down from freezer to box position
- Specimen retrieval by patient, accession, test type, or storage date
- Temperature zone and cold-chain event logs associated with stored specimens
Cataloging
Standardize labeling, barcoding, and metadata for reliable chain-of-custody.
- Barcode and QR code generation for reagents, specimens, and storage containers
- Custom metadata fields configurable per specimen or reagent type
- Chain-of-custody captured at every movement, aliquot, and transfer event
LIS module ready
Deploy as a standalone system or connect directly into LIS workflows.
- Native integration with SLIMS for synchronized specimen and reagent records
- REST API for bi-directional connection to existing LIS and ERP platforms
- Standalone deployment supported with no dependency on the broader Solasta suite
Nothing lost. Nothing unaccounted for.
SLOTS maintains a continuous record of what you have, where it is, and who moved it — so your inventory is audit-ready at any moment.
Standalone or fully connected
SLOTS deploys independently or connects into the Solasta suite and existing lab infrastructure.
Native sync keeps specimen and reagent records aligned with active workflows in the LIMS without manual reconciliation.
Storage and inventory events visible to account coordinators and lab client services through the PRISMS portal.
Barcode scanner and RFID reader support for rapid item identification, movement logging, and storage confirmation.
Temperature event logs linked to storage units and specimens, with alerts for excursions in regulated storage zones.
REST API connection to existing laboratory information systems and enterprise resource planning platforms.
Every item movement, transfer, and disposal event timestamped, attributed, and exportable for accreditation evidence packs.
SLOTS is a laboratory inventory and specimen storage management system for accredited clinical and research laboratories. It tracks reagents, consumables, and specimens with full lot traceability, expiry alerts, storage location management, and chain-of-custody logging.
Laboratory managers, biobanking teams, and operations staff responsible for reagent procurement, inventory control, and specimen integrity in accredited environments where traceability and expiry management are compliance requirements.
SLOTS is available as a standalone inventory management application or as an integrated module within the Solasta laboratory suite, with native connections to SLIMS for sample management and SHELF for quality oversight.
