How does TB GIMS affect laboratories that submit isolates for genotyping?
TB GIMS will replace the Excel spreadsheets that were previously used to submit isolates and receive genotyping results. Laboratories that routinely submit isolates to the contract genotyping laboratory should register for user access for their jurisdiction. Laboratory user roles will be similar to TB program user roles (e.g., Super User, Standard User) and will have laboratory-specific functions such as submitting and tracking isolates to and from the contract genotyping laboratories.
