4.1. Introduction · Samples = Analysis Requests

Jump to:

Analysis Requests and their statuses. An Analysis Request is the collection tests/analyses requested by the client to be carried out on a Sample by the laboratory. For wine laboratories it is assumed that Samples are disposed of within days and, unlike say ore laboratories, would not do future analyses on stored samples. For all practical purposes an Analysis Request represents a Sample in Bika Wine. The term 'Analysis Request' is derived from the analysis order form clients used to complete in paper based systems

The entire analysis request, and the individual analyses requested, pass through a number of sequential stages indicated by its status:

1. Sample due - The sample has been shipped to the lab and the request for analysis has been registered on the system by the client

2. In the lab - The sample has arrived in the lab, been received by the lab clerk, and a label has been printed and affixed to the sample

3. Assigned to worksheet – Applies to individual test requests within the analysis request. Grouping related tests in a worksheet facilitates lab processes

4. To be verified - The analysis has been completed and the result entered into the system. The result has yet to be verified by the lab manager. This status is applied to individual test requests on the analysis request, and to the analysis request as a whole once all the component tests are in this status

5. Verified - The analysis result has been verified by the lab manager and is ready to be published. This status is applied to individual test requests on the analysis request, and to the analysis request as a whole once all the underlying tests are verified

6. Published - The verified result has been published to the client by the method specified for the client contact. This status is applied to individual test requests on the analysis request, and to the analysis request as a whole once all the underlying tests are published

The |analysis requests| tab provides the functionality associated with the submission and processing of the analysis requests submitted to the lab

Two |analysis requests| tabs are available, client specific in their folders, or globally to lab staff from the main tab bar

As an analysis request passes through the various statuses, it appears in the appropriate list selected by the radio button in the Analysis Request areas of the client and the global lab listings

Analysis Request list headings

Analysis Requests which are in To be verified or Verified status are also presented as alerts to the right of the screen from where they may be accessed directly. These alerts are only presented to the lab manager. Lab clerks are shown alerts for Samples due
