Managing the Workbook Sample List

Overview

When a workbook is opened, it displays samples associated with each job, for the selected sample types, where the sample is registered for any selected scheme and analyte.

Process

The workbook samples list can:

  • Show the rack number applicable to the sample when a single scheme or linked schemes are open in the workbook.
  • Be rearranged, added to, or removed from the workbook.
  • Be modified by launching the CCBTSM—Batch Sample Maintenance application to remove samples from laboratory batch jobs.
  • Be modified by launching CCQCSM—QC Sample Modification application to add, remove or update QC samples in it.
  • Have their workflow statuses modified by launching the CCSGRD—Sample Gridding application to set analytes to listed not received, insufficient sample, not analysed or no result.

Ordering of Samples in the Workbook

The ordering of samples in the workbook depends on a) the number of jobs opened, b) the number of schemes opened, and c) the selection of sample types. The following table provides the requirements for sorting for each combination:

Sample types

One job
one scheme

One job
multiple schemes

Multiple jobs
one scheme

Multiple jobs
multiple schemes

Include No QC

Samples where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown

Samples are ordered by Sample Scheme Registration Sequence

Samples where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown

Samples are ordered by Sample Registration Sequence

Schemes are ordered by Job Scheme Registration Sequence

Samples from Job 1 where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown

Samples from Job 2 where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown

Jobs are ordered by Job Name

Samples within each Job are ordered by Sample Scheme Registration Sequence

Samples from Job 1 where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown

Samples from Job 2 where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown

Jobs are ordered by Job Name

Samples within each Job are ordered by Sample Registration Sequence

Schemes are ordered by Job Scheme Registration Sequence

Include Job QC

(that is, Unknown and Duplicate QC Samples only)

Samples where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown or Duplicate

Samples are ordered by Sample Scheme Registration Sequence

Samples where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown or Duplicate

Samples are ordered by Sample Registration Sequence

Schemes are ordered by Job Scheme Registration Sequence

Samples from Job 1 where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown or Duplicate

Samples from Job 2 where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown or Duplicate

Samples from Job 2 where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown, Duplicate, Replicate, Standard, Blank or Spike

Jobs are ordered by Job Name

Samples within each Job are ordered by Sample Scheme Registration Sequence

Samples from Job 1 where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown, Duplicate, Replicate, Standard, Blank or Spike

Samples from Job 2 where Primary Analytical Type is Unknown, Duplicate, Replicate, Standard, Blank or Spike

Jobs are ordered by Job Name

Samples within each Job are ordered by Sample Registration Sequence

Schemes are ordered by Job Scheme Registration Sequence

The following scenarios demonstrate how samples are displayed.

Scenario 1

Samples U1..U10 were registered, and schemes and analytes added: Ana1—U1..U9 for Ana1, and Ana2—U1..U4,U8,U10.

The SamPrep scheme duplicated the fifth sample in every ten, and added one PBLK blank QC sample, and propagated both types of QC samples into Ana1 and Ana2 schemes.

The Ana1 scheme replicated a random sample in every ten unknown samples, and added one BLK1 blank QC sample, and one STD1 standard QC sample.

The Ana2 scheme replicated a random sample in every ten unknown and duplicate samples, added one BLK2 blank QC sample and two STD2 standard QC samples.

Therefore the sample schemes that exist for schemes in the job are:

Opening Ana1 only, in Final result mode

If a workbook is opened for multiple jobs, one scheme, or linked or unlinked schemes, with Sample Types set to Include All QC Samples, when the workbook sample grid is displayed, then the samples from one job are displayed first, then the samples from the next job are displayed next, etcetera for all jobs. Samples from each job are included as follows:

  • All samples regardless of the sample's Primary Analytical Type are included.
  • Samples are sequence by the sample scheme's Registration Sequence (order of the samples within the job scheme).
  • The samples on display are limited by the selected racks, and are displayed with a rack indicator based on the sample scheme's Rack Number.

Opening Ana1 and Ana2, in Final result mode

If a workbook is opened for multiple jobs, multiple schemes where at least two of the schemes are unlinked, with Sample Types set to Include All QC Samples, when the workbook sample grid is displayed, then the samples from one job are displayed first, then the samples from the next job are displayed next, etcetera for all jobs. Samples from each job are included as follows:

1) If a sample preparation scheme exists in the job:

  • All samples where the sample's Primary Analytical Type is Unknown or Duplicate (note that sometimes, duplicate QC samples are referred to as job QC samples, however this disregards that other types of QC samples can also be added by a sample preparation scheme).
  • Samples are sequenced by the sample scheme's Registration Sequence for the FIRST sample preparation scheme in the job, where the scheme order is denoted by precursor scheme relationships and the job scheme's Registration Sequence .

  • Samples are sequenced by the sample scheme's Registration Sequence, starting from the FIRST sample preparation scheme (in case there are other QC samples other than the unknown or duplicate QC samples that were displayed from 1 above), where the scheme order is denoted by precursor scheme relationships and the job scheme's Registration Sequence.

Scenario 2

Samples U1..U10 were registered, and schemes and analytes added: Ana1—U1..U9 for Ana1, and Ana2—U1..U4,U8,U10.

The SamPrep1 scheme duplicated the fifth sample in every ten, and propagated the duplicate QC samples into SamPrep2, Ana1 and Ana2 schemes.

The SamPrep2 scheme duplicated the first sample in every ten, added one PBLK blank QC sample, and propagated both types of QC samples into Ana1 and Ana2 schemes.

The Ana1Prep scheme replicates a random sample in every ten unknown samples.

The Ana1 scheme added one BLK1 blank QC sample, and one STD1 standard QC sample.

The Ana2Prep scheme replicates a random sample in every ten unknown and duplicate samples.

The Ana2 scheme added one BLK2 blank QC sample and two STD2 standard QC samples.

Types of Samples in the Workbook

A sample's Primary Analytical Type and Secondary Analytical Type dictates the type of QC assessment performed on any of its analytical results.
