If users want to remove a series of samples from their inventory, they have two options. Firstly, users can delete all the individual samples one by one, or secondly, they can remove the entire series.
To delete the series, open the sample series information sheet and click on the Remove series button.
Sample series actionsAll actions in the top action menu will be performed on all the samples in the series. If you want to perform actions on only a few of the samples in the series, use the checkboxes and select the desired action from the Sample Actions drop-down menu. |
The following options are available in the pop-up window:
- Remove the sample series – unlinks the sample batch from the series without removing the samples in the lab inventory
- Archive all samples – archives the sample series, thereby removing the samples from the lab inventory
Note: that archived samples have not been deleted from the system. According to GLP guidelines, they are transferred to the Sample Archive. This means that empty tubes can be removed from the lab, while still maintaining the link to sample information in the ELN
Users can also delete multiple sample series at once by selecting the Archive option from the Sample Actions menu.
