Samples are removed from plastic bag and sorted manually in containers before being manually placed in racks. After analysis, the samples are archived in bulks collected in plastic bags. Occasionally the samples need to be referred to and need to be manually searched from the plastic bags. In virology and immunology most of the samples are removed from plastic bag and placed to a bulk loader. Sorting is done according to barcode label to six bins. Samples are logged in. Some samples are sensitive to contamination and therefore must be handled in an upright position. These samples arrive in racks or plastic bags. Sorting is done according to barcode label.
