The Reagents Configuration Screen

Add the reagent kits and lots used in the lab to Clarity LIMS and enable them for use on specific steps. When lab scientists run samples through a step, they can record the reagent lots used.

All users logged into Clarity LIMS can access the Reagents configuration screen. However, their user permissions determine what they are allowed to do in this screen.

By default, only the Administrator role has the Configuration:update permission. For more on user roles and permissions, see User Roles and Configure Role-Based Permissions.
