📄️ Adding Racks of Specimens
When a rack of specimens is ready to be stored in a container, the rack, the specimens it contains, and the destination container must all be recorded in tube.tracker.
📄️ Adding Specimens to an Existing Rack
It is sometimes necessary to add additional specimens to a rack already entered into tube.tracker. There are two methods for adding specimens. The first is the default method and is identical to the Bulk Add Method for a new rack. The second is similar to the Conventional Add Method and can only be used if your internet browser cannot perform the bulk method.
📄️ Delete Specimens From Racks
Specimens can be deleted from a rack without deleting the rack itself. This is not just useful in deleting discarded specimens but also as an administrative tool for emptying racks that are labeled allowing them to be reused without needing to be relabeled.
📄️ Discard a Rack of Specimens
With a continuous stream of incoming specimens and a finite amount of storage space, regular racked specimen disposal is a necessity for most operations. tube.tracker facilitates this process by enabling users to set an expiration date for racks added to the system. The expiration date allows tube.tracker to generate lists of expired racks that are ready for disposal. tube.tracker retains specimen information long after the physical specimens have been discarded helping laboratories eliminate the need for cumbersome or inefficient systems of specimen storage.
📄️ Searching for Specimens
One of the greatest features of tube.tracker is the search feature which provides the ability to scan millions of current and discarded specimens and racks in less than one second. A specimen's or rack's history is retained long after it has been discarded. Time savings from not having to physically search for specimens and racks that have already been discarded may be even more valuable than the ability to find those that are still active.
