Biological reagent catalog

A computer-implemented method providing recommended biological reagents in response to a biological reagent order, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a computing device having a processor and memory, the order, wherein the order includes a first biological reagent and a second biological reagent;
• identifying, with the computing device, a characteristic conflict between the first specified biological reagent and the second biological reagent;
• identifying, with the computing device, a third biological reagent as a substitute for the second biological reagent, wherein the first biological reagent and the third biological reagent are free of the characteristic conflict;
• and
• providing a response to the order that identifies at least the first biological reagent and the third biological reagent.

One or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed by a computing system having a processor and memory, cause the computing system to perform a method for providing one or more biological reagents for a diagnostic test, the method comprising:

• receiving an order for one or more biological reagents to perform a diagnostic test functional to identify a biological condition, wherein the order includes an identifier of the biological condition;
• accessing, with the computing system, a data store to retrieve information, wherein the information includes characteristic data, inventory data, and historical data of one or more biological reagents;
• identifying, with the computing system, the one or more biological reagents based on the information, wherein a conflict threshold is exceeded by the one or more biological reagents as determined from the information;
• and
• communicating an identifier for each of the one or more biological reagents.
