There may come a time when you will want to keep an expired rack past its expiration date. In this case you will need to renew the rack and assign a new expiration date.

  1. Since the beginning steps of renewing an expired rack are common to other tube.tracker® functions, follow the opening steps to discarding a rack of specimens.
  2. Once you have opened the container in which the rack you wish to renew resides, click the checkbox associated with the rack. Note: you may select more than one rack to renew at a time.
  3. After you have all of the racks you wish to renew selected, click the Renew Racks button.

  4. This will bring up the renew racks screen. On this screen there are 2 pre-determined renewal dates and 1 custom renewal date. Clicking 1 Day will set the renewal date of the rack(s) to 1 day from now. Clicking 1 Week will set the renewal date of the rack(s) to 1 week from now. If you wish to renew the rack(s) to a date that is not 1 day or 1 week in the future, you can specify it in the Custom field. Just type in the new expire date and click the Custom button.
  5. In this example we are going to select a custom renewal date of Sept. 18, 2005. Type this into the Custom field and click the Custom button.
  6. This brings up the renew rack confirmation screen listing all of the racks you are renewing and the new expire date for each.
