How to Queue a Vessel for Destruction in GrowerIQ

Learn how to queue a tissue culture vessel for destruction when plants are contaminated or no longer needed.

Before You Start

Make sure you have:

  • Access to the Tissue Culture module
  • A vessel with at least 1 plant (empty vessels cannot be queued for destruction)
  • A valid reason for destruction (contamination, failed inspection, expiry, etc.)

Step 1: Navigate to the Vessel

From the main menu, click Tissue Culture then Vessels.

Find and click on the vessel you want to queue for destruction.

Step 1: Navigate to Tissue Culture > Vessels and select the vessel

Step 2: Verify the Vessel

On the vessel detail page, confirm this is the correct vessel by checking:

  • Vessel Name - The unique identifier
  • Plant Count - Number of plants that will be destroyed
  • Batch - The batch this vessel belongs to

Important: Destruction cannot be undone. Double-check that you have the right vessel.

Step 2: Verify the vessel details before proceeding with destruction

Step 3: Open the Destruction Dialog

Click the Queue For Destruction button in the Actions section.

Note: This button is only active when the vessel has plants (plant count > 0).

A confirmation dialog will open.

Step 3: Click Queue For Destruction to open the destruction dialog

Step 4: Enter Destruction Details

In the dialog, provide:

  1. Reason - Select or enter the reason for destruction (e.g., contamination, failed QA, expired)
  2. Notes - Add any additional details about why this vessel is being destroyed

Tip: Be specific with the reason. This information is important for compliance and record-keeping.

Step 5: Confirm the Destruction

Click Confirm to queue the vessel for destruction.

The system will:

  • Mark the vessel as queued for destruction
  • Set the plant count to 0
  • Record the destruction event in the activity log
  • The vessel will appear in the destruction queue for final processing

You're Done!

You have successfully queued a vessel for destruction.

Next steps:

  • The vessel will appear in the destruction queue for final processing
  • Check the Activity Log tab to verify the destruction was recorded
  • If you need to destroy multiple vessels, repeat this process for each one
