If any Growths are entered when a Customer's Booked-In Plates are Read, These can then be sent for further Identification which occurs independently of checking and releasing Exception Reports.

Result Sets and Exception Reports can be Checked and Released before Identification is complete, however when an Identification is released, all related Result Sets and Exception Reports will be automatically updated with the new information in both MRS and MRS Web.


  1. When a Growth is entered against a plate in the Growth Table within the Enter Results section, Further ID can be requested by double-clicking into the empty field under the Further ID column, and a unique reference will be generated:



  2. This Further ID will now show within the Identifications Module under the assigned reference:


  3. When analysis of the relevant Growths has been completed, select the entry from the list of Identifications to bring up its details on the right-hand side of the window:

  4. Fill in the form with the details from the analysis.

    When selecting a Growth Type you should get the Full list of Growths underneath the Growth Category that the sample was visually identified as:
    For example, this Growth was Visually Identified as Bacteria when the Plate was read, so we get a full Bacteria Genus and Species list from the dropdown menu:


    Comments can also be added against each Growth Type, which will be visible to the Customer in MRS Web.


    If all Growths have been analysed, check Analysis Complete and the Release button at the top of the window will become active.
    If the Growths have only been partially analysed, clicking the Save button in the top-right corner of the window will Save any information entered and allow you to come back later and fill in the rest.

  5. Click the Release button to Complete the Identification Process, and release all details from the Identification to the Customer's MRS Web account.
    You will receive a brief confirmation notification that the Identification has been successfully released.
