Specimen information is entered into ELIMS via PDF file called the CDC Specimen Submission 50.34 Form or an electronic XSLX file called the Global File Accessioning Template. This Change Request updates several fields on form 50.34 and the GFAT file. There are no burden changes or significant changes to the instruments or methodology.
