The Sample Management (SM) module in ADAMS was created to allow Anti-Doping Organizations (ADOs) to:
- Request and monitor Long-Term Storage (LTS) of their samples in accordance with their long-term storage and further analysis strategy.
- Request and monitor Quick Turnaround Analysis (QTA) for specific samples.
Who can request a Long-Term Storage (LTS) and Quick Turnaround Analysis (QTA) for a sample?
The requester will always be the Testing Authority (TA) of the sample.
There are currently three ways an Anti-Doping Organization (ADO) user can request LTS/QTA for samples:
-
Via the Sample Management (SM) dashboard
-
Via a Testing Order (TO)
-
Via a Doping Control Form (DCF)
Who can confirm LTS/QTA sample requests?
The Analyzing Laboratory or Storage Facility will confirm LTS/QTA requests.
There are currently two ways a Laboratory user can confirm LTS/QTA for samples:
-
Via the Sample Management (SM) dashboard
-
Via a Lab Result import file (CSV/XML)
Who can confirm that an LTS requested sample is stored?
LTS requested samples can be stored in either two locations:
-
Analyzing Laboratory
-
Storage Facility
The storage location is selected by the Testing Authority. It is then for either the Analyzing Laboratory or Storage Facility to confirm its storage.
Which samples are available in the Sample Management module?
Any sample collected within 6 months will be displayed in the SM module.
Sample types are:
-
Urine
-
Blood
-
Dried Blood Spot
| Organization Type | SM Dashboard |
| Testing Authority | Displays all samples with LTS or QTA requested as well as all samples collected in the past 6 months for which the user’s organization is the Testing Authority. |
| Laboratory | Displays all samples with LTS or QTA requested as well as all samples collected in the past 6 months for which the user’s organization is either the Analyzing Laboratory or Storage Facility. |
