Quick answer Laboratories handle samples, tests, reagents, results and client billing. In Bahrain, laboratories typically need: sample registration, reagent and consumable stock, results and reports, client billing. ERP covers stock, billing and equipment; core lab systems may remain separate. - Reagent expiry - Manual client invoicing - Calibration tracking gaps - Key records: samples and tests, reagents and lots, clients and contracts Choosing software for laboratories?
