Deleting an aliquot record from a specimen should be a rare action reserved for situations where the aliquot record should not have been entered in the first place. Users should not delete an aliquot record that has been depleted. To delete an aliquot from a specimen record:

• Open the specimen record for the specimen stored in the aliquot you would like to delete. See Editing Specimen Records for instructions on how to do this.
• Select the Aliquots/Projects tab.

• Expand the aliquot group that the aliquot you would like to delete belongs to by clicking on the blue triangle on the left side of that aliquot group. Each of the aliquots that belong to that aliquot group will be displayed on individual rows.

• Click on the row of the specific aliquot that you would like to delete. The aliquot will be highlighted in blue.

• Click on the — button above the Aliquots grid. A dialog will appear, asking the user to confirm that the aliquot should be deleted.

• Click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the aliquot. The dialog will close and the selected aliquot will be removed from the specimen record.
