2

If you belong to multiple organizations, select the one you want to work in. You can switch organizations at any time from the top navigation bar.

​
Your First Steps

Once you’re signed in, what you do next depends on your role:
As a lab technician, your primary tasks include:
  • Receiving specimens — Log incoming specimens and verify their condition
  • Entering results — Input test results as they become available
  • Validating results — Review and confirm result accuracy
Start with Managing Accessions to learn the specimen receiving workflow.

​
Understanding Roles and Permissions

bLIS uses role-based access to control what you can see and do. Your administrator assigns you a role that determines your level of access:
RoleDescription

If you need access to a feature that your current role doesn’t allow, contact your lab administrator.
