To remove a storage unit, including all compartments and samples from the lab, navigate to Storage Units in the Configuration menu. Then click the bin icon (Delete Storage Unit) under the Action column to remove the storage unit.
Note: this action requires the correct permissions and cannot be undone.
If samples are stored within the storage unit, they must first be removed.
Note: when a storage unit is deleted, all compartments found under this storage unit will be deleted from the system. If you want to remove a storage unit from the lab while keeping the sample archive and/or contents, please submit a request to eLabNext support.
Permanent sample removal
It is possible to permanently remove samples from the system. This feature's main functionality is to remove test samples or samples made in error. To enable this feature, please disable the GLP compliance setting within the Admin panel.
Once this has been disabled, when deleting a storage unit, the user will need to type I AGREE to confirm that they want to permanently delete the storage unit, compartments and stored samples.
