Working With Rack Types

In tube.tracker, rack is the term used to represent an object in which specimens are stored. A rack can either be a literal test tube rack that arranges specimens in a two-dimensional grid or it can be dimensionless like a bag. Typically there will be several standard rack types in a facility and these rack types can each be defined and maintained in tube.tracker to provide consistency for all users.

    Navigation Menu Maintenance > Rack Types
