Vital Tissues
VITAL TISSUE data may be hand entered by using a mouse click or by using the arrow keys and hitting the space bar. Click all tissue types that apply for one specimen (i.e. H/K, liver, muscle, spleen, blood, and karyotype).
Data are preferably entered using a bar code scanner. Click SCAN INVENTORY and use a portable bar code scanner to scan the bar codes of the different tissue tubes. If multiple tubes of a tissue are collected (e.g., 2 tubes of Liver for TK 12345) and only one tube is labelled with a bar code, simply scan the code twice.
The computer automatically puts the scanned information in the approporiate sections of the VITAL TISSUES area for that particular record and matches scanned information to other records as well.
To stop scanning bar codes and return to keyboarding data, scan the bar code "scan stop code" provided by the NSRL.
