Results Verification. Retesting

Typing results in, directly or from bar coded prints. Verify or Retract them

Verification. QC results

One major advantage of using Worksheets, is easy verification or retraction of results since

  • Analysis results are reviewed in context of their peers, e.g only for a category of Analysis Services, and not all mixed up like would be the case on the Sample itself. The specialist Verifier focuses on say Metals only and where a result appears to be unusual, may click through to a view of the Sample and its other results
  • All QC control results done in the same session are shown as well and those out of range are indicated, assisting the Verifier in deciding whether to retest or Verify the result for publication. Clients already see Verified results online, and will receive them by preferred publication media, email etc.

The worksheet can also be verified as a whole, selecting all results at once, without having to Verify them individually on Samples. Analyses may also be individually verified

When the results are Verified per Worksheet, their states are updated to Verified on themselves and reflect as such on their Sample and Sample views

Retesting and Rejecting WS Analyses

When a result was captured with a typo, or require retesting where confidence levels are low, reagents were refreshed or other similar reason, and it is discovered during Verification, it can be retracted from To be Verified state and a new result captured

[Retract] and [Retest] do esentially the same function but for Retested results that do not have to be saved again but can be submitted for Verification straight away

Rejecting a results will remove it from both the Worksheet and Sample

Enter the new value and submit it again

The earlier result is maintained for traceability, but never shown to the Client

Analyses stay in step on Samples

Analyses technically live in their Sample containers, and when they are updated via Worksheet views, it is done on the Sample itself. Capturing and verifying Analysis results on Worksheets will also trigger Sample state advances or retractions, e.g. when the final Analysis on a Sample is verified, the Sample itself moves to Verified
