Important Notice - In June 2024, we released a new version of our Inventory system. Updated documentation for the Inventory is available in our new Support Portal. All documentation for the entire eLabNext platform will be fully migrated to the new Support Portal over the course of 2024. Start using the new Inventory documentation.


To share your lab's samples with other labs in your company or institute, you can define the share setting of each sample types. Navigate to Configuration – Sample Types, select the sample type you want to share, and click on the Lock icon.





Select one or more groups from the left-hand column with whom you want to share your samples' information. Click Add to move the selected groups to the right-hand column and click Save. The groups with whom the sample type has been shared will now be able to find the shared samples when performing an Organization Search on the Advanced Search page. Note: when sharing a sample type with another group, the storage location of the samples will not be disclosed to the lab with whom they have been shared.
