Mosaic Sample Management Software

In January 2025, Titian Software and Labguru surveyed 155 people in the life sciences industry to understand the trends and innovations that matter most in digital lab operations. In this resource, explore the findings which represent the current state of automation and data management, the evolution of AI in life science and its potential impact in lab operations.

Listen in to these expert insights via this free webinar.

In this whitepaper, Titian Software provides detailed integration strategies for digitizing your lab by drawing on its long-running partnerships with multiple vendors of laboratory automation and its experience of implementing sample management systems for organizations of all sizes. The principles of good sample management hold for any life sciences laboratory: from a small academic laboratory using manual pipetting methods with human tissue samples, to large multiuser enterprise environments with multiple complex instruments to manage and supply millions of small molecules.

Sample management refers to the processes and practices involved in the handling, storage, tracking, and distribution of samples in a laboratory or research setting. Good sample management practices are crucial for generating accurate and reliable results, meeting regulatory requirements, saving time and resources, facilitating data sharing, and ensuring ethical and legal compliance.

In this eBook, we detail the value of well-constructed and reliable procedures to manage samples. Plus, we provide the information you need to effectively implement integrated software solutions into your lab to benefit your sample management workflows, from assay plate preparation to biobanks and cell line management.

• The principles of good sample management
• How integrated software can optimize your workflow
• Management and preparation of assay plates
• Meeting sample management requirements for biobanks
• Considerations for accurate cell line management

Mosaic sample management software tracks liquid handling operations performed by instruments or users within a Mosaic workflow. Pipetting operations such as individual well-to-well transfers, plate replication, transfers from microtubes to plates, etc. can be achieved in a variety of ways using Mosaic. This application note gives an overview of how the TTP Labtech mosquito liquid handling platform can be integrated with Titian Software's Mosaic to fulfil your liquid handling needs.

In this application note, Titian Software Limited illustrates the benefits of using robust cell line sample tracking, including:

• Managing registration
• Meaningful labware types and units
• Management of new passages
• Ordering
• Cell line tracking
• Delivery
• Inventroy searches

The solutions outlined in this application note are fully scalable and promise efficiency gains at every step of the cell lines’ lifecycle.

The tracking and management of samples is becoming ever more important in research and development organisations. These samples may represent highly valuable assets, the tracking of which cannot just be trusted to a spreadsheet. In some cases, sample management, screening and automation may be performed by just one person, who is under significant pressure to provide an accurate inventory, a high-quality audit trail and rapid fulfillment of sample requests. To achieve this cost-effectively for a growing company requires a robust tool for sample oversight and workflow management to enable the effective storage, retrieval and processing of samples while making the most efficient use of supporting automated instrumentation.

The decommissioning of the MSD Newhouse Research Site (Lanarkshire, Scotland, UK) in 2010 was a bitter blow to both the employees there and the Lanarkshire region. In the same year the pharmaceutical industry downsized by 50,000 jobs, and this extensive site of world-class research, focussing on the fields of anaesthesia and psychiatry, added a further 250 to this list. However, within some of the former employees there was hope.

In this workshop presentation, Denise Swift, senior scientist at Sygnature Discovery, discusses how high-throughput screening (HTS) was established at Sygnature Discovery in Nottingham, U.K., with the support of Titian Mosaic, HighRes Biosolutions and Genedata. HTS was introduced to complement its existing suite of hit-finding approaches and offer a more comprehensive integrated hit-discovery platform to enhance successful early drug discovery for their clients.

‘Sample Not Found’ is Titian's cautionary tale about Freezer Management in drug discovery and what mistakes in inventory tracking could mean for a pharmaceutical or biotech company.

Labcyte® and Titian have enjoyed a collaborative partnership for many years. As this relationship continues to strengthen, customers see significant benefits:

• Improved throughput and response times
• Reduced error rates
• Sample conservation
• Cost savings from reduced labour associated with managing sample collections

Toby Winchester, application consultant team leader at Titian Software, Ira Hoffman, President of HighRes Biosolutions, and Oliver Leven, head of EU business at Genedata, discuss and demonstrate new software integrations designed to fully automate the drug discovery process and improve the efficiency and reproducibility of assay data.
