Next Step Selection and Sample Routing
In Clarity LIMS, the outcome of the next step selection for sample outputs depends on whether those outputs are derived samples, pools, or derivatives.Step Output: Derived Sample
The following tables summarize the expected results when choosing next steps for these three output types.
