User Labware Selection

Hamilton (Venus)
1

What is the best way to create a method on Venus that prompts the user to select the tubes to aspirate from and the wells to dispense into? For example, the user can select channel 1 to aspirate from tube #1, channel 2 from tube #4, and channel 3 from tube #6. Then channel 1 dispenses into well A2, channel 2 into well B4, and channel 3 into well D3. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Sounds like a job for some custom GUI and worklisting. Is there a logic behind the tube/well specific access? Any sort of sample pattern pre or post this workflow to help determine logic?

That’s a job for worklists. Manual selection in this manner is highly error-prone and probably takes longer to do right than just pipetting by hand.

If you absolutely have to do it this way, the SeqLib has a function (SeqEdit) for reading given sequences into a GUI and making them editable.

Thanks, Evwolfson and PatrickM

This task requires selecting only 4 samples per run, which should be manageable by the users.

I will try SeqEdit.

Thanks,
