When to Clear Samples
Samples should be cleared as follows:
Range of Sample IDs
The system retrieves a range of sample IDs in either Alphanumeric or Numeric form.
The system automatically selects one of the two, depending on the type of sample ID
entered. These same methods of retrieval are used for Load List, Clear Samples and
Recall.
Sample IDs containing only Numeric Data:
• Samples are listed in numeric order. For example 1, 2, 3, 4...
• Include leading zeros in the Range field. For example, range 1 thru 1000 would not
include sample 0099, but range 0001 thru 1000 would.
Sample IDs containing only Alpha or Alphanumeric Data:
• Samples are listed in dictionary order. For example A, AB, B...
• Numbers come before letters. For example 1, 900, 1A, A...
• Include all characters in the To field. For example, range A thru Z would not
include ZEBRA, but range A thru ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ would.
If... Then...
Sample programming has been completed. Clear sample programming.
A sample ID has to be reused. Clear that sample ID first.
A sample rack can not be programmed due to
previous programming. (This occurs when a
sample ID does not match, or when a rack number
shows previous information.)
Clear that programming.
NOTICE
Do not mix a pure numeric entry with an alphanumeric entry. For example, 0
thorough 1A will delete all numeric.
