A number of similar analyses - on different samples but logically belonging together, such as intended for the same lab workstation, instrument of specific analyst - can be grouped into a single unit of work on a Worksheet.

Asynchronous Background Processing
-
In high volume labs, such as those testing for tens of pesticides per sample, system performance slows down for big tasks such as submitting big Worksheets for Verification, and it is better to perform these tasks asynchronously in the background, freeing the user up to continue with other tasks in the LIMS. Asynchronous processes complete quicker too
