I believe the only way to do that would be through a barcode system. I'm
sure one will come but it'll be a few months. With the tech shortage, I hope
we see new automation soon! Inventors have an open market here!

	Does anyone have a protocol to ensure sample ID remains with the
specimen
	from receipt to sign-out, i.e. a "fool-proof" way to ensure that
samples
	don't get mixed up by the fairies?

	Thanks
