Edit a Patient List Use this procedure to open a previously processed batch and correct
the batch’s sample names and dilution factors. You can delete a
sample from a batch. If you change the patient information in a batch
including those imported from a patient list, the system automatically
notes the change in the comments box of the sample table within the
database.
While editing the database, the system marks the changes you make
in red text. This distinguishes the change from the patient
information entered into the original batch. Patient list entries are
case-sensitive. Figure 33 shows an edited patient list.
‹
To edit a patient list:
1. On the File menu, select Edit Patient List. The Open Batch
dialog box opens.
2. Select the desired batch containing the patient list that you want
to edit and click Select. The Edit Patient List dialog box opens
similar to Figure 33.

information. Click Finish to accept your edits and close the
dialog box.

Assign Sample
Dilution Factors
Indicate the sample dilution factor so the sample analysis in
quantitative tests is accurate. The system multiplies the result by the
dilution factor for reporting.
Do not use dilution factors for qualitative testing.
You define the dilution factors on a sample-by-sample, or patient-by-
patient basis. The list displays each sample’s accession number and
dilution factor in relation to its well position.
