Introduction

In the OpenSpecimen, storage containers  are mainly used to store specimens in it. We can also provide the restriction to storage container by providing holding Collection Protocols(CP) and holding specimen types.

In previous version, Storage container was tightly coupled with storage type. In OpenSpecimen, we will provide easy to use APIs to add / modify these storage containers through user interface.

Goals for Storage Container API

1. Easy way to Add / Edit / Delete Storage containers though user interface
2. Should be able to load large set of values without any performance issues

Below are the APIs present in the application for Storage Containers   :

• Create New Container
• Disable Storage Container
• Get All Storage Containers
• Get Storage Container
• Patch Storage Container
• Update Storage Container
