Sample automation and management is increasingly important as the number and size of population-scale and high-throughput projects grow. This is particularly the case in large-scale population studies where sample size is far outpacing the commonly used 96-well plate format. To facilitate management and transfer of samples in this format, we present Samasy, a web-based application for the construction of a sample database, intuitive display of sample and batch information, and facilitation of automated sample transfer or subset. Samasy is designed with ease-of-use in mind, can be quickly set up, and runs in any web browser.
