Approving assay runs

Note: To approve results, you must have the user can approve results permission for your account.

After assay results have been committed by a user entering or importing them, they must be verified.

  1. Open the Manage runs task.
  2. Select the assay run that you want to approve.
  3. Click the Enter/review results button.
    The Assay Results window will open.
  4. Select a specimen from the Samples list on the left.
    The results for the selected sample will be displayed on the right. These are the results you are reviewing.
  5. Click the Approve results button.
    The specimen results will be approved and the Approve results button will change to De-approve results.
  6. Repeat for each specimen in the Samples list.
  7. After all specimens have been approved, click the Close button.

The assay run is now considered reviewed and approved. If the run had a final result of Invalid, the results will not be used by HAWS but the results will be included in the export file (unless the option to exclude the results from the export file was enabled).

Once the result has been approved it cannot be modified. If an approved result needs to be modified, you must first De-approve the result
