Lab Axiom calculates each test's Due date from that test's Turn Around (business days) and the sample's Received date (or from Outsourced when the test is outsourced). Due dates appear on member (non-group) result rows in Results and on the sample view screen—not on the sample create form. Group result rows do not show Due or Turn Around; check each member test in the group. If a member row's due date looks wrong, confirm that test has Turn Around filled in. You can also edit Due on the result row when needed. See Entering Test Results in Lab Axiom.

Alternatively, customers or staff can submit sample information through a sample submission form—see Configuring sample forms in Lab Axiom.

Edit an existing sample

From the Samples list, click Edit Sample (pencil) in the row actions—or open the sample in view mode and click the Edit Sample icon in the header. The same fields are available as when creating a sample.

Print a sample label

In sample view mode, open the ⋮ actions menu and choose Print Sample Label to print a label for the sample. See Setting up the Zebra label printer in Lab Axiom if you need to configure printing.
