Handles most collection types and material
The different types can be handled separately or in combination, i.e. a collection can cover both preserved material, tissues and living material.
The material types are user-defined; examples:
- Living material (e.g. plants, animals)
- Preserved material (e.g. herbarium specimens, insects, birds, etc.)
- Tissue samples
- Genetic material (e.g. DNA samples, seed banks)
- Fossils
- Observations
