The pathology department LIS can be described as at the centre of most pathology laboratory functions including work flow management, specimen tracking, data entry and reporting, interfacing with other systems, archiving and inventory control – activities that are related to the way that the departments plan, organise, staff and ultimately control their environment [ 73].
CONCLUSIONS: With proper handling and management of specimens, FNA can routinely provide samples adequate for molecular genetic studies, in addition to cytomorphology and flow cytometry, making it possible to consistently render accurate and definitive diagnoses in a subset of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
Data management and specimen collection in scientific research underlie a number of challenges and often have to fit into daily routine as well as meet scientific standards.
4. To operate a specimen management and storage system so that diverse specimens (blood, dialysate, fingernails, hair) can be collected at dialysis initiation and eventually be assayed by new biochemical and genetic assays.
Management of the specimens -- 15.4.2.
I am responsible for management of the specimens housed in the Museum of Vertebrates and also assist with areas of regulatory compliance.
Prior to her work with the archives, she organized the type invertebrate collection, did general collections management, and photographed specimens, as well as packed/unpacked invertebrate fossil loans.
On the other hand, EUS-FNA with sampling for histology analysis without on-site cytopathologist neither required additional time for the endoscopic procedure, nor additional training for the endosonographer in regard to the management of the specimens.

Specialized tools, such as BSI (Biological Specimen Inventory System) [ 66] or Freezerworks [ 67], can be used for specimen management; however, they may not integrate smoothly with other systems involved in data and specimen management.
