Sample and result capture

Link the received material and its attributed analyte entries to the intended inspection.

Step by step

  1. Prepare inspection Inspector

    The Inspector identifies the operational inspection and its assigned person before capturing samples. Check the subject reference and the signed-in person's account mapping so the capture command acts on the intended laboratory work.

    • Identify the operational record and permitted person
    • Updates Inspections, People
  2. Receive soil samples Inspector

    The Inspector records the sample number, field reference and depth with collection and receipt dates. Submit the capture request against the selected inspection. Resolve missing references, invalid units or impossible date intervals before the record is used for result entry.

    • Capture the received sample with validated context
    • Updates Soil samples, Inspections
  3. Capture analyte results Lab Analyst

    The Lab Analyst selects the received sample and records the analyte, numeric value, unit and method. Identify the reviewing person and submit through the result capture procedure. Keep the sample context visible while preparing the entry.

    • Record the attributed analyte entry
    • Updates Soil results, Soil samples, People
  4. Check the evidence handoff Quality Reviewer

    The Quality Reviewer inspects the attributed result and its supporting material. Compare the unit and method with the laboratory's agreed procedure, and ask the analyst to resolve an unclear source reference before the result is used in the quality discussion.

    • Inspect sample, unit and method context
    • Updates Soil results, Soil samples, Controlled documents

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • A similar sample number leads the analyst to select the wrong material. Open the field and inspection context before submitting the result.
  • Receipt is recorded before collection. Resolve the date sequence before accepting the capture request.
  • The unit or method is unclear. Use the laboratory's agreed labels and resolve the source evidence before comparing values.
