An instrumentation interface application that obtains information from an instrument directory and generates a graphic user interface populated based on the information. The information for a given instrument may be formatted in a manner so as to allow the interface application to interpret the information to be displayed in a certain manner. By delegating the such details of the instrument information to a directory instead of the interface application, the interface application can be utilized more effectively for relatively large biological laboratories that have many instruments of different types. The graphic user interface generated in such a manner can be used to monitor and control a variety of different aspects of the laboratory, including instrument management, sample management, and study-related management.
