Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology Biobank Specimen Sample Monitoring System

Abstract

Managing large number of specimen samples used for their research projects is one of the huge burdens faced by many health institutions like the Institute of Molec- ular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) of the National Institute of Health (NIH) in the Philippines. As a solution for the specified problem, the study will propose a system that will help researchers to monitor all the access on each available samples and keep track of sample’s amount and storage location inside a freezer. The monitoring system will be supported by a barcode scanning mechanism.
