BIOVIA
CISPro allows you to track and report on your inventory while meeting safety and regulatory
requirements. CISPro stores information about materials, their quantities, production dates, and locations. When
you select a CISPro lot when creating a study, this reports the available amount of that lot.
In Study Design and Tracking, when you select the storage conditions and time points for tests, this calculates the
amount of material of each lot required for each task. This automatically calculates the total
amount of material of each lot required for all tasks, with a user-specified built-in excess.
If your tasks require more material than is available in any of the selected lots, changes to
the lifecycle of the study result in the display of a warning message.
Both the available and required amounts for the study account for materials stored in Eaches.
When you store a lot in small quantities, an Each is the base unit of the packaging. Amount
calculations take into account the quantities, volumes, and densities of Eaches.
The Summary Amount view details the calculations performed to generate
the total required amount for each lot tested in the study. You can access this on the
Summary tab of a readable study and from the
Materials and Test Design tabs of a study being
edited. For more information, see Summary Amount.
The amount calculation uses:
- The amount for each activity (test).
- The matrix of tests performed for each time point and each storage condition.
- The specified overage for each storage condition.
The conversion between volume and mass uses the CISPro specific gravity where available. If the specific gravity is not available for a material,
the calculation uses the default value of 1.0.
- Master Samples
- When you use master samples, the amount calculation combines the quantities for all
tests for each combination of time point and storage condition. This is indicated in the
Summary Amount tables. The header of the time point column
displays a icon. The cell reporting the total
amount of material required for all tests under all storage conditions, usually in the
first row, also displays a icon with a
tooltip. The values for rows for other test activities do not report values.
- Sample Reuse
- When you reuse samples for tests at multiple time points (under the same storage
conditions), the amount of material required is for that single sample. The amount
calculation combines the single sample amount required for each test with sample reuse
under each storage condition. You cannot use a single sample for multiple different tests
at each time point, even under the same storage conditions. This is indicated in the
Summary Amount tables. The header of the test activity row
displays a icon. The cell reporting the total
amount of material required for all time points under all storage conditions, usually in
the first column, also displays a icon. The
values for columns for other time points do not report values, but display a icon with a tooltip.
- Containers
- When determining the number of containers required for each material in a study, the
calculations take into account all tests at each time point under each storage condition.
This minimizes the number of containers required, so that a single container is not
expected for every test. For example, for a given time point under the same storage
condition, if two tests require 1 g and 2 g of material, a single 5 g container is
sufficient. Requiring a container for each test consumes two 5 g containers, leading to
wastage of 5 g of material.
