- Sample identification and collection
- Sample processing and storage
- Data collection
- Sample withdrawal and distribution
Steps

- Click on 'Add' to submit a new invoice. Fill out the fields based on the description below:
- Description: Summary of the services provided, including collection, processing, storage, handling, distribution, etc.
- Type: Source of funding, which can be through a government grant, industry sponsorship, or internal funding
- Funding Agency: E.g., CIHR, NIH, sponsor name (* need to add as an extra field)
