Delete a specimen
If a specimen was added in error, it can be deleted completely.
Before you begin
Before deleting a specimen, ensure that it is appropriate to do so. Some projects require laboratories to assign specific condition codes or adjust specimen volume rather than deleting.
About this task
In most cases a specimen should not be deleted unless it was created in error. It is typically more appropriate to assign a specific condition code, such as DSR to the specimen.
Specimens that have been shipped to another laboratory cannot be deleted.
