5.8 Managing samples
5.8.1 Managing sample banks
A sample bank is a collection of wells on a given plate or
plate segment that is grouped and treated as a single unit for
liquid handling operations.
Individual “Sample” wells must be assigned to a sample
bank before they are available for use in a reaction setup.
“Reaction” wells can also be assigned to a sample bank —
this enables a reaction to be used as a component of a
second reaction.
Sample banks are managed using the “Update Sample
Bank” dialog box. The “Update Sample Bank” dialog box
can be accessed from the plate operations menu, or from the
“Sample” right-hand pane. See Section 5.9.5 for more
detailed information about managing sample banks using
the “Sample” right-hand pane.
