Biobanks/biorepositories follow some standard and defined procedures for distributing specimens. The pre-defined procedures for distributing specimens are known as distribution protocols.

Create

Once you create a DP for a specific project, you can distribute specimens multiple times to the same DP over a period of time.

Close

Once a project is over, you can close the DP. The previous orders created using this DP will remain as is, but new orders cannot be created.

Delete

You can delete a DP if you have created it by mistake or if you do not need it anymore for some reason.
