When importing eCoC files and upon receiving the physical samples, the lab is expected to generate an eSRN (electronic sample receipt notification), containing all the information relative to the received samples.
This file should then be sent to LSPECS (by sending it as an email attachment to the designated LSPECS email address), that will match this information against the expected data (the eCoC entered previously in the system)
and alert the users to any discrepancies (in example: missing samples, missing containers…).
Client's (ESdat/LSPECS) number for the project related to this group of samples.
ESdat/LSPECS internal identifier for the project associated with these samples.
ESdat/LSPECS internal identifier for this lab submission.
If possible the lab should store this value and include it when creating the associated eSRN and eLabReport.
LSPECS will use this value first trying to match an eCoC to an eSRN or eLabReport.
This number should match the number in the consignment note sent with the physical samples.

Flag identifying if the samples were sent in temperature controlled conditions.
Number of physical boxes sent with the samples.
Consignment note identifier value.
Indicates the temperature of the received samples.
Flag confirming if the the custody seal was intact upon sample receipt.
Collection of additional client contacts.
All contacts will be notified of the reception of the eSRN and the eLabReport form the lab depending on the attribute flags.
Email address of the contact.
Flag that determines if the sample receipt notification results are sent to the contact.
Flag that determines if the analyses results are sent to the contact.
Flag that determines if the QC report should be sent to the contact.
Flag that determines if the QCI report should be sent to the contact.
Collection of Lab Requests associated with the physical samples identified by this eCoC.
A lab request includes a user defined (in LSPECS) group of analyses to be performed on the samples.
User can send multiple lab (analyses) requests for the same batch of samples. This allow the user to request further analyses from the lab.
LSPECS also supports multiple versions of the same request, allowing the user to correct mistakes when requesting the samples.

LSPECS also supports multiple versions of the same request, allowing the user to correct mistakes when requesting the samples.
Collection of quotes used to select analyses for this request.
LSPECS internal identifier for the lab request.
Indicates the request number. More than one set of analyses (request) can be done for the same batch of physical samples.
This situation can happen if the client forgot to include some analyses on the first request.
Allows for versioning of lab requests. Lab should detect if the request is a new version of a previous request overriding the requested analyses for a given batch of samples.
Client's requested turnaround date for the results.
Flag indicating if the request has urgency status.
Lab can use this value to prioritize their analyses queue (and charge the client accordingly).
Client can include a reference to the purchase order for the requested analyses.
Indicates the organisation that should receive the invoice for the analyses.
Name of the contact person that should receive the invoice.
Email of the contact person that should receive the invoice.
Name of the person who sent the analyses request.

If it came from an eQuote it should match the quote number on the eQuote.
Indicates the quote name for the related analyses.
If it came from an eQuote it should match the quote name on the eQuote.
Expiry date of the quote from where the analyses were selected.
Creation date of the quote from where the analyses were selected.

In analytical chemistry, the detection limit, lower limit of detection, or LOD,
is the lowest quantity of a substance that can be distinguished from the absence of that substance within a stated confidence limit
The quantitation limit of an individual analytical procedure is the lowest amount of analyte in a sample which can be quantitatively determined with suitable precision and accuracy.
The quantitation limit is a parameter of quantitative assays for low levels of compounds in sample matrices, and is used particularly for the determination of impurities and/or degradation products.
