Description
Summary:	High-quality critical reagents are essential for the establishment of robust ligand binding assays to support regulated bioanalysis. To ensure consistency in assay performance over the lifetime of a project, a well-defined set of processes is needed for critical reagent life cycle management. Moreover, contract research organizations must support reagent life cycle management for diverse global clients. To address these needs, the authors designed and implemented a customized inventory management system, known as LCM+. This software solution provides external clients with efficient, secure access via a web portal to their critical reagent information, pertinent documentation and inventory tracking. Hence, the authors believe that LCM+ can serve as a useful prototype to aid the design of future inventory management systems for optimal management of critical reagents.
