The Count Type field represents the smallest unit for tube/container. The text entered in the field should represent what a single instance of the tube/container would be called (i.e., slides).

Select this button to open the Label Printing page to configure default printing preferences and label formats for the current tube/container type.

You may also define master or tube label formats for the system default setting or for individual hosts (see the System Defaults or Hosts topics). The system uses the tube/container type's label format settings, if they are available, for order choices that require this type of tube/container. If tube/container type label formats do not exist or are not active, the system uses host label format settings for labels produced for samples that have been routed to that host. If host label formats do not exist or are not active, the system uses the system default label format set in the System Defaults administration page.
