Megalab opens. Click on the NEW ORDER button.
The order form opens with the order number at the top, the order details below and the sample table at the bottom.

Optionally, enter a custom order number, the date sampled and instructions for our lab.

3 | Select and add samples

Each sample gets a sample number which is a unique identifier consisting of 4 characters. For each order, the sample number will start with your reference number.

Please note the sample number on the sample bags before sending the samples to our lab so that we can identify the order to which the results are to be uploaded.

In the table at the bottom of the order form, tick the samples you want to submit to our lab.
Click on ADD EMPTY ROW to add more samples.
To copy a sample, click on the copy symbol in the row of the sample. To delete a sample, click on the bin symbol.

4 | Add sample inputs and amalgamate samples

Add sample inputs

For each sample, insert inputs in the columns by clicking on them and selecting from the menu.

The requested sample inputs adjust based on the sample type you selected. In general, you will be ask for field reference, crop and variety, and growth stage. Furthermore, enter the plot reference for each sample. The plot reference is referring to the location of the plot on a field, for example, top or bottom.

Select which analyses and extra analyses we should run on each sample. Read here which analyses can be ordered.
