The process of retrieving a specimen from freezer/box for research or testing and/or distributing it to the labs or external organizations or researchers for further analysis is called specimen check-out. And the process of receiving the checked out specimen and storing back at its original location is called check-in.
You can now check-out/check-in specimens from multiple places within the application by either using check-out/check-in button or retrieve/transfer option under specimen actions menu.
