Censor Codes

Censor codes can be assigned to specimens, controls and assay runs to indicate an issue or special condition.

For example, a censor code might indicate a contaminated specimen or equipment failure. User censors are those that are added by a user. System censors are those that are added automatically by LDMS when certain conditions are met.

There are two types of user and system censors:

specimen censors

These censor a single specimen on a run; other specimens on the run are unaffected.

run censors

These censor the results of an entire assay run. They indicate that something went wrong with the entire test.
