TeselaGen's Lab Inventory Management System (LIMS) allows you to physically locate your physical materials on Sites and Locations (geographical locations) and on equipment and containers inside them. This allows you to keep a well-organized track of your reagents and biological entities in the facilities involved in a given research. This is especially helpful not only to having an inventory of your materials but also to automate the creation of new materials or transformation of already existing ones by linking your LIMS to workflows and worklists.

Once you have samples in containers and those containers are somewhere in the lab, you can easily move them either manually or in an automated way using workflows. Next, let's briefly see how to manually move samples (for example, plates) to different locations. To start, go to your Plates library under the Inventory menu of the Materials and Inventory Management Toolkit:

Select the plates you want to move, right-click on them, and select the "Move" option from the context menu that appears:

Then, a pop-up window will appear asking you to select the desired destination. Notice that, if you have selected more than one plate to move, you will be able to pick several destinations:

Then, select a location for all of the plates and click on "Submit" (on the image above, the button is not active because not all plates have been assigned to a new location, this prevents you from leaving a plate without a location). Once you click on the button, all plates will belong to the locations you selected. This same procedure can be used to move tubes.
