Delete specimens using bulk import

Question: How to delete specimens in bulk?

Solution: Specimens can be deleted using the bulk import option. Following are the steps -

  • Download 'Specimens' template 
  • Fill in the data - 'Specimen Labels' (for the specimens you want to delete) and activity status(Value=Disabled). The rest of the columns can be removed.
  • Upload this data CSV file as 'Update' operation under Specimens import
  • To check the status of bulk import, check the bulk import jobs(Collection protocols → Import → View Jobs). 

Once specimens are deleted, it is completely removed from the interface and cannot be retrieved back from the user interface.

Using 'Specimen Disposal' template

Specimens can also be closed or disabled using 'Specimen Disposal' template(Collection protocols → Import → Biospecimen Data)
