Add Samples to an Existing Container

To run a step in Clarity LIMS, select a destination container type from a preconfigured list in the Ice Bucket screen. Then, proceed to the Record Details screen where you scan the barcode of a new container to add it to Clarity LIMS.

However, you may sometimes want to place samples into an existing container with a barcode that has already been entered into Clarity LIMS. Adding samples to an existing container is easily achieved in the Ice Bucket screen.

1.

In Lab View, open the step containing the samples to place into an existing container.

2.

Select the samples and add them to the Ice Bucket.

3.

On the Ice Bucket screen in the Container Options panel, select the desired container type from the Destination Container drop-down list.

4.

In the Find Existing Container field, type the name or Clarity LIMS ID of the container in which to place the samples. While typing, Clarity LIMS presents a filtered list of containers with matching names or Clarity LIMS IDs. Select the appropriate container from the list.

5.

Select Begin Work to proceed to the Record Details screen.
