This is the hub of the system. Records all transactions against compounds and builds a history on a ‘page per compound’ basis in a similar way to a paper record. The information at the top of the page shows the details of what the compound is, where it came from, original quantity and activity. The section on the lower half of the page shows all transactions that relate to this compound. Where a compound has been split into samples, the transactions associated with these subsamples are also displayed. The left hand menu shows all the options that are available for the displayed compound based on the users security access.

The Search for reference box will show the latest compounds used, allowing the user fast access, or to locate a compound from a reference code. The screen can also be switch into 'list view' with search options for accessing many compounds.

 

 

A compound can be dispensed creating sub-samples. The amount is specified as either a quantity, activity or percentage and is fully decay corrected for both realtime and historical entry. If the subsample is created using the Dilute / Synthesis option, the user can change the units of quantity for the new sample, as well as update any change in name. The activity in the subsample is full tracked back to it's parent.

 

 

This is the hub of the system with regard to Sealed Sources. Records all transactions against sealed sources and builds a history in a similar way to a paper record. The information at the top of the page lists all the sources on site, or as of a search. The section on the lower half of the page shows all transactions that relate to this source. The left hand menu shows all the options that are available for the displayed compound based on the users security access.

The Search for reference box allows the user to locate sources by reference code or serial number.

 

 

IsoStock has comprehensive waste/decay store management. When a compound is disposed of, the scientist can specify what proportions of the sample was disposed into waste containers. Waste container types can be defined to represent the actual containers used on your site. Each container has a unique reference code to identity. IsoStock keeps an accurate decay corrected record of all the containers and their contents. You can quickly see how much activity is in each container and where it is. By highlighting a container it's content are display showing each part of each compound or sample that it contains.

 

 

Waste containers can be grouped together into consignments for disposal by your authorised routes. This can be organised in advance of the waste being collected - using the decay analysis function, this could even be months in advance as IsoStock can indicate when containers will decay to a given activity. The activity contained within a consignment can also be forward calculated to the expected date of collection for an accurate report of exactly how much waste will be disposed of.

 

 

An optional barcode and labelling function is available. You can define the formats of labels that will be used and the information to be printed on them, including a barcode. The barcodes can be used for stock checking storage locations. Using a portable barcode scanner a user can scan all the items within a storage location. On returning to IsoStock and transferring the data, a report is produced showing the expected items, the items scanned and any anomalies. A stock check transaction is recorded against each compound along with date, time and user.

 

 

IsoStock contains many reports. Each screen has a "print this" option that will print either the list of items (ie. compounds, waste, etc) on screen, or any highlighted item along with details regarding the item. The reports menu also contains a number of predefined summaries and calculations. Most reports are interactive with optional parameters to select time period, departments, locations, isotopes etc. Selecting parameters instantly updates the data displayed. All reports can be printed or exported in PDF, CSV, or cut and paste to Word/Excel/Email.

 

 

All entries within IsoStock are fully editable. When a user makes an edit (subject to their security access) they are presented with a list of all the changes they have made. They must then enter a reason for making those changes, which can be either free text or picked from a list of pre-defined reasons. On confirmation, the changes are saved the the audit trail for that item is updated with the date, time, user, reason for editing, and the list of previous and new data.

 

 

IsoStock has fully customisable security access. Any number of security levels can be created and users can be allocated a security level. There are over 240 different options that can be enabled or disabled for each security level. Users are also be allocated to one (or several) departments further controlling the compounds and data they have access to.
