Plate layout

Following the procedure described in section Worklist creation leads to a recommended standard plate layout. A custom plate layout template can be created as show in the example below.

This section describes a procedure, focussing on advanced users.

Custom plate layout template is referred to hereinafter as Template.

Custom plate layout template

1. Create a new project and submission. For example,
   
2. Using the functionalities described in section View and edit worklist, a Template can be created, saved as a plate run in a worklist.

Example

The above shown plate layout serves as an example only.

Shown samples barcodes may not be compatible with any kit!

Using the Template

1. Use the plate run which was created previously as Template for a new plate layout. The Template (plate run) is located for example in,
   .
2. Make a copy of the Template. In this example the copy hast the barcode 1600517317.
   
3. Move the received plate run to an existing worklist, e.g. in submission "Kit run".
4. The target submission, e.g. "Kit run", may contain a worklist with a dummy plate run, not required for a kit run.
   Delete obsolete plate run(s) from the worklist.
5. Add study samples, "unknowns", to the moved plate run.
   Click Insert and select "unknowns".

Example

The target submission, where the Template is moved to, must contain a worklist.

The target worklist may contain a dummy worklist, deleted as described above.

Using the functionality Insert: all well positions are kept.

Move wells on plate

Wells (samples) can be moved on a plate layout. Other samples will shift by keeping their order.

Example

Swap wells

Wells (samples) can be swapped on a plate layout.

In this example QC2, well C6, and unknown, well C8.
