This feature enables to set up references between DNA and specimen data. Here, specific DNA information like:
 
−
* DNA extraction (e.g. extraction process, DNA quality and long-term storage)
 
−
* amplified sequence fragments
 
−
* respective Genbank No. and/or BOLD IDs
 
−
can be linked to specimen data, previously integrated in an GBIF database.<br>

Before entering DNA data you have to load the relevant specimen data. There is no possibility to save DNA data without specimen information! To guarantee both the safeguarding and long-term availability of referenced DNA samples these should be deposited in research collections. Corresponding data including voucher information have to be stored in suitable collections databases. If the respective databases are not yet integrated into the DNA Bank Network, these can either be [[#Add new specimen provider|newly added]] or alternatively, if the specimen data are not available in an online database, these can be set up offline with the [[Specimen Tool]].<br>

Each DNA sample is extracted from a specimen. This specimen can be a tissue sample, a complete individual, a living plant or animal or a culture (algae, microorganisms). By defining a reference between DNA sample and the DNA voucher you should keep in mind what exactly the DNA voucher is. In terms of the DNA Bank Network the ideal DNA voucher means a complete individual, from which the tissue and DNA sample was taken from. This DNA voucher should be deposited in a natural history collection and the voucher data are available via GBIF. In many cases it is not possible to deposit such an ideal voucher, because it is for example a threatend species. Than you should reference to the most applicable DNA voucher.

Customer Requests

The shopping cart will guide you to the customer request administration

The Customer Requests tool enables you to record and administer DNA samples orders requested from your DNA bank. Here you learn how to:

  • Add new costumers
  • Add new orders of DNA samples
  • Edit costumer and order data

Add new request

Once you have successfully logged in, click on the shopping cart “Add new request” or on XXX “Edit requests” to record or modify a request for DNA samples.

Customer list

Now you can choose your customer by opening the drop down list (black arrow down) and clicking on the right name highlighted in blue.

Add new customer

If your customer is not yet on that list you must add your customers data first. Click on the green cross next to the customers list to open the Staff and Customer input field (see Staff and Customer).

DNA Extraction Numbers

Now you can fill in the exact DNA sample numbers requested from that customer in the dedicated fiedl. These numbers are as well provided attached to that customers order request email send to your DNA bank's curator. Please note that the sample numbers have to be separated with semicolon (e.g. 236;289;324).

Check data

Click on the Check data button and you will see you customers personal data as well as details to the requested DNA samples. Here you can edit resp. update your customers database entry by clicking on the edit button (see Staff and Customer).
