What it really istube.tracker: a browser-based laboratory specimen tracking system by Cerebros Medical Systems, LLC.

Not a YouTube analytics tool.

Our taketube.tracker does one job for labs: knowing where every tube is.

You define your rack types and storage containers once, scan tubes in with a barcode reader, and later find a specimen by its ID along with who entered it and when. It runs in a web browser with no software to install. It works next to your laboratory information system (LIS) rather than connecting to it. Pricing is by quote after a 60-day free trial.

Why we rate itIt removes the hunt for stored specimens with a simple scan-in, search-out workflow, and the vendor says it has tracked specimens since 1999.

The catchPrices aren't published, and it does not interface directly with your LIS, so it only tracks the labelled tubes you scan in.
