Inventory Expiration Alerts
A new sample level metadata field is available to track the expiration date of a sample. Edit existing samples to add an expiration date or use the field for new sample registrations. Email alerts can now be set by users for samples that are near or past their expiration date.
Choose the inventory expiration date as the alert type, specify the project, frequency, and format, and add the time frame for the expiration date.
Email alerts will show either the number or names (depending on your detail level) of samples that are expiring within the expiration period set in the alert.
Inventory Summary Field
Show a summary of sample inventory information in a search report table on the Explore Data tab to quickly see a snapshot of the remaining samples and total amounts. Summaries are available at the molecule and batch levels. To display the field, click “Customize your report” and select “Inventory Summary” from the list of Molecule Fields and Batch Fields.
Note: In a future release, the count will show as a link which will load the specific samples on the Inventory search tab.
Plot Legends
The option to display a legend on plots in the search report table is now available. To enable this option, click “Customize your report” and check the box for “Show legend” at the top of the page. Legends are displayed for every single plot in the results. To minimize the amount of content, only the unique information is displayed per curve. Run dates, condition values, and batches are shown when necessary.
Hazard Codes in Stoichiometry Table
Hazard codes were recently released for registered molecules in CDD Vault, and now they can also be found in the stoichiometry table of a chemical reaction drawn in the ELN. These hazard codes will appear automatically for recognized structures.
Hover over the code for a brief description or click on the codes for an expanded description of each code and a link to the source, the Laboratory Chemical Safety Summary sheet on PubChem.
A blank pictogram is displayed for unrecognized structures with a default warning assuming that the reagent is toxic and/or hazardous.
DELETE Samples API Endpoint
DELETE /api/v1/vaults/<vault_id>/inventory_samples/<id>
Samples can now be deleted via the API as long as they are not associated with a plate-well or readout row. Once a job starts it cannot be canceled.
Example
curl -H "X-CDD-Token: $TOKEN" -X DELETE "https://app.collaborativedrug.com/api/v1/vaults/<vault_id>/inventory_samples/<sample_id>"
Returns:
{
"message": "Inventory sample with ID 3438 has been destroyed"
}
