Once you have created your cases, you can now create the corresponding samples. Each sample is assigned to a case and contains all the important information, e.g. sample type, collection date or quantity.

Creating the samples ensures that you always know which samples belong to which case – and creates the basis for structured and traceable sample management throughout the team.

How to create samples:

Navigate in the menu to Samples → Master data.
You will see the list of your cases on the left and the corresponding samples on the right.

Click on the plus sign (+) in the top right-hand corner to create new samples.
You have two options:

• Create individual sample – for targeted entries with individual details

• Create multiple samples at the same time – ideal if you want to record many similar samples

Simply select the right option for your application – and you’re ready to go!

When you create a new sample, you are taken to the “Samples” tab .
This is where you enter all the important information about your sample – quickly, clearly and comprehensibly.

1. name the sample
Give your sample a unique name.
Please note: Letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), hyphens (-) and underscores (_) are permitted.
An automatic background check ensures that your entry complies with the specifications.

If this sample belongs to a specific study, you can simply click on “Insert ID”. Select the suffix you created for the study and the sample will automatically be assigned correctly.

2. enter further information
You can then enter additional information about the sample – e.g. sample type, collection date, quantity or storage location.
This information will help you and your team to quickly find and manage the samples later.

Once you have entered all the information, simply click on “Save” (tick symbol) to create the sample.
This accepts your entry and saves the sample in the system.
