Aliquots

The Aliquot Creation feature in allows users to create and track aliquots from an existing inventory item when the aliquot option is enabled in item data management. When aliquots are created, the system generates a separate batch ID for each aliquot set, enabling independent tracking. Users can record the number of aliquots created, the date they were prepared, and the stability or expiration date for those aliquots. This ensures proper traceability, accurate tracking of derived materials, and better management of aliquoted inventory.
