  • Specimen collection and storage issue

    Hi,
    when adding in a new visit and selecting what has been collected e.g. EDTA whole blood and derived plasma and then desired amount of aliquots. We only store the aliquots not the whole blood tube or derived plasma tube. The site is asking for a label and storage container for all collected. Is there a way around this?
    Thank you,
    Demi Lund (Hunter Cancer Biobank)

    Hi @Demi_Lund,

    The storage container is optional, you can leave it blank and system will store the blood and derivative as ‘Virtual’.

    For labels, you can let system auto generate labels for whole blood and derived plasma. For this, you can specify label formats in your protocol like below:

    For more information on auto label generation, please refer to https://openspecimen.atlassian.net/wiki/x/cgcR

    Thanks,

    Hi Poornima,
    thank you this seems to be working with all labels except an “other” derivative.
    Please see below:

    Could you please tell me what field i am missing?
    Thank you,
