AutoStars is a specimen tracking and retrieval system that is fully integrated with the NeTLIMS AutoLims product suite. Users can retrieve and track specimens for both initial testing and follow-up add-ons ordered by laboratory clients. Specimens are stored and retained in various areas of the laboratory based on the container, substance and type of test being performed. The solution allows for an array of reports to be run, including pending lists with the exact location of the specimen or racks that may contain specimens that require additional testing.
