Pick List Format#

Echo-software Columns#

Source Plate Name, Destination Plate Name

The names of the source and destination plates, respectively.

Source Plate Barcode, Destination Plate Barcode

The barcodes of the source and destination plates, respectively.

Source Plate Type, Destination Plate Type

The plate types of the source and destination plate. Contrary to Echo documentation, source plate types cannot be used for destination plates.

Source Well, Destination Well

The well names of the source and destination wells, respectively, in standard non-padded format (e.g. A1, B2, C12, etc.).

Source Row, Source Column, Destination Row, Destination Column

The zero-indexed row and column numbers of the source and destination wells, respectively (e.g. A1 is row 0, column 0; B2 is row 1, column 1; C12 is row 2, column 11, etc.). (FIXME: check this)

Sample Name

A name associated with the Source Well.

Sample Comment, Sample ID, Sample Group

Other identifiers associated with the Source Well. (FIXME: check this)

Destination Well X Offset, Destination Well Y Offset

The offsets, from the well centre, of the target position, in µm. Positive X is directed toward the right of the well (positive in column 5 is closer to column 6), while positive Y is directed toward the top of the well (positive in row C is closer to row B). Should be integers.

Transfer Volume

The volume of liquid to be transferred, in nL.

Delay

The time to wait before starting the transfer, in s.

Classification Type
