Set Sample Packaging Rules

Configuring these rules within the Study > Configure module simply serves as an alternative user access route to configuring these rules within the Samples > Configure module. The settings are exposed for editing within either module and are always kept in sync between the two modules.

The following sample processing rules dictate how samples may be packaged at the end of sample processing workflows:

Enforce Container Path: If checked, only samples which share the same sample processing path may be packaged together. Meaning that ‘Analyte A’ samples may not be mixed with ‘Analyte B’ samples. If unchecked, samples may be packaged together regardless of sample path. Meaning that ‘Analyte A’ samples may be mixed with ‘Analyte B’ samples.
Enforce Container Transfers: If checked, only like aliquots may be packaged together. Meaning that ‘Primary Aliquot’ samples may not be mixed with ‘Backup Aliquot’ samples. If unchecked, different aliquots may be packaged together. Meaning that ‘Primary Aliquot’ samples may be mixed with ‘Backup Aliquot’ samples.

The following actions can be performed within the Study > Configure > Sample Processing module to manage these sample processing configurations
