You can also export a template of all sheets that have not been assayed yet as a spreadsheet, which you can send to the lab to fill in, or if you have a hotlink to the lab ,you can just run a query off your database to build a spreadsheet and then you can click Import Assay and import it from that spreadsheet. You can also, on the database, have a batch job running that exports your current assay templates and imports them on the database without running it from the front end:
