Shipment of Containers

Introduction

A site may ship whole boxes of specimens to another site. When receiving site receives these boxes, they store them as is in their freezers. OpenSpecimen allows you to track this workflow of shipment of containers from one site to another.

Below are the prerequisites to ship/receive containers using OpenSpecimen:

  • Both the shipping site and receiving site should use the same instance of OpenSpecimen.

  • To ship containers, you need to have access to the site where containers are stored.

  • You cannot ship containers from multiple sites within one shipment.

  • When receiving a shipment, you can store the received containers in the parent containers of the receiving site only.

Create Shipment/ Shipment Request

  • From Home page navigate to 'Shipments'.

  • Click on the 'Create' button and select the option 'Containers'

  • Enter all valid details, select sending site and receiving site, and click on the ‘Next’ button. Select the checkbox ‘Shipment Request’ if you want to generate request (available from v10.3).
