Adding a Sample

To add a single sample to eLab, follow these steps:

Click the Add button from the Sample Actions group of the Samples screen . The Add Sample dialogue box appears.

Figure 8.4. The Add sample dialogue box.
From the options select the values corresponding to the property values of the sample (see Introduction to Samples).
If the sample is derived and/or aliquoted from the same source as another sample in the system select the appropriate option. Enter the Sample Id of the other sample and specify how the new sample is related.
Enter the identifier of the container that the sample is located in, and then click the green load container button next to the Container ID textbox.
Note: You can create a new container by clicking New Container and completing the Add Container dialogue box, see Adding a Container on page.
Select an empty well directly from the container, or use column and row controls.
If you want to add further samples, click the Add and New button. You can choose how the next sample will be positioned by choosing either the Left to Right option or the Top to Bottom option from the drop down of the button.
Click Add and Close.
