    The default Inventory contains two
    folders: **Materials** and **Methods**.
    
    These are used to organise respectively samples and materials of any
    type and lab protocols.
    
    Samples, materials and protocols are modelled in openBIS as *Objects*.
    In the openBIS ELN-LIMS for life sciences, the following Object types
    are preconfigured in the database:
    
     
    
        Antibodies, Chemicals, Enzymes, Media, Solutions and Buffers, Plasmids, Plants, Oligos, 
        RNAs, Bacteria, Cell lines, Flies, Yeasts, General protocols, PCR protocols, Western blotting protocols.
    
     
    
    These *Objects* are organised in *Collections* in the **Materials** and
    **Methods** sections of the Inventory .

    The generic openBIS ELN-LIMS only has one predefined *Object* type for
    the Inventory:
    
     
    
        General Protocol 
    
     
    
    Additional *Object* types and the corresponding *Collections* must be
    created by the *Instance admin*, based on the needs of the lab.
    
     
    
    It is possible to add additional folders in the Inventory, for example
    for **Equipment** (see **[Create new Inventory
    
    Spaces](https://openbis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-documentation/general-admin-users/admins-documentation/space-management.html))**.
