Info
Samples in a biobank sometimes need to be destroyed rather than used and closed. Destroying specimens is often called for due to withdrawal of consent, study conclusion, or a deviation in the protocol.

Record a ‘Destroy Specimens Event’:

To record that a specimen was destroyed, users can add a ‘Destroy Specimen’ Event, record the reason, and add a comment if needed. The user and a time stamp are recorded automatically. Then the sample needs to be closed in a subsequent step to note that it no longer is in the biorepository.

For auditing purposes, you can access a query that shows all specimens that have been destroyed and the other details associated with that Event.
