Blockchain-based workflow management for patient samples. In an embodiment, for each of a plurality of first devices, a request for a unique sample identifier is received from the first device, and, in response to the request, the unique sample identifier is generated and sent to the first device. Then, for each of a plurality of second devices and for each of a plurality of interactions, interaction information is received from the second device, a transaction is generated from the interaction information, and the transaction is recorded in an immutable ledger. The interaction information may comprise a unique sample identifier, a user identifier, a location, an event type, and a timestamp.

Blockchain-based consumables management with support for offline instruments. In an embodiment, a user device scans a first machine-readable code on a consumable, scans a second machine-readable code displayed on a display of an instrument that is not communicatively connected to a blockchain network, decodes a consumable code from the first machine-readable code, decodes an instrument code from the second machine-readable code, broadcasts a transaction message, comprising the consumable code and the instrument code, to the blockchain network, receives a use code from the blockchain network, encodes the use code into a third machine-readable code, and displays the third machine-readable code, on a display of the user device, for scanning by the instrument.
