6. Steps with use case images (Media Preparation Laboratory)
01
Initiate bulk media preparation in
the laboratory using for example
macro, micronutrients, vitamins, gel
agent, mineral salts and water

7. Dispense the bulk media culture into the
tubes

03
Register and print one label for
the rack of tubes of step 02, the
label only show the ID of the
bulk media culture

Attaching the new
Pack of labels

9. New rack with new media culture
Old rack 07 Initiate In Vitro propagation to refresh
germplasm inventories

Visual inspection to evaluate
contamination for later if it is
necessary linking it with the
origin of media bulk
preparation

11. Different treatments are applied during
storage for conservation and regeneration
Treatments:
• In the field  fertilizer or pesticides/insecticides applied, or pollinators, etc. (plots)
• Screen house  fertilizer or pesticides/insecticides applied, or pollinators, etc. (pots)
• In Vitro  media culture (glass tubes)
• Cryo  media culture, protective substance (glass tubes and cryo vials)

14. Conclusions
• The treatment ID should be linked to the Inventory ID.
• Is needed a software module to handle laboratory supplies and chemicals.
• The new regenerated inventory ID should be linked to the old conserved inventory ID.
• The barcode label should print the inventory ID, Treatment ID and not only
the treatment name.
• The container type for inventory storage or inventory for regeneration should be
registered and not only for distribution.
• One innovative approach to responding to these challenges is the implementation
of Tracking and Traceability Systems (also named workflow systems) to
integrate the software module for treatments with GG platform.
