4. Data Handling
During a run data about the current plate and its samples is stored in a temporary
location in the system database. This allows a plate to be completed after a power
outage or other system failure. When a plate has been completed and the operator
selects “Finish Plate” from the run screen, the data is permanently saved in the
system database.
The following data is stored for each plate:
A unique ID for the plate.
The destination plate barcode.
The date and time the run was started.
The intended starting well.
The intended ending well.
The total wells on the plate.
The order in which the wells were intended to be punched. (Column or Row)
Whether or not the run was a simulated or actual run.
The following data is stored for each sample:
A unique ID for the sample.
The unique ID of the destination plate.
The well into which the sample was punched.
The sample barcode.
