Work Stack

CHECK-add incubator

CHECK-add string name for wells and incubator slots, plates

CHECK-unique identifier for each well/sample

CHECK-fix duplicate restriction digests

-different buffer for each protocol

-using multiple tips

CHECK-tip size, must specify

-be generic with plate dimensions, specifying locations (grid/site), this is only with the Tecan robots

CURRENT-record reaction history, also protocol history

-move transversing the tree out of assemblymanager, we want to a separate **program to annotated the tree and produce the protocol graph

-tell user when new plate gets allocated

CHECK-if two wells have partial amounts, combine them

CURRENT-debugging purposes, log everything that happens

-why does resourcemanager give the printout out of order? investigate

-fix naming, 3 parts (UUIDS,User defined names,auto-generated linearized tree name)

CHECK-swap column and row

-save resourcemanager state

-Talk to Jeno about Puppetshow GUI

Work Diary

• Wednesday 6/8

Just flew back from China, got to PHO209 at 4pm and caught up with other team members on what they are up to. Had a discussion with Viktor about the road ahead, what problems are on our to do list.

• Thursday, 6/9

Found a fix to the sample name duplication issue, instead of using sample names to identify sample, we are now adding a new UUID field to each liquid, this 8 digit randomly generated code will make sure two no samples of the same content will be confused with each other.

• Friday 6/10

Implemented tips of different sizes, 50ul, 100ul, 200ul Removed duplicate entries from Puppeteer output Implemented incubator functionality

• Monday 6/13

Planned and implemented history recording, reaction history and incubation history Got the robot moving and tested in the wetlab

• Tuesday 6/14

Swapped rows with columns to optimize robot pippetting Added feature to ResourceManager to combine liquids in multiple wells to minimize waste

• Wednesday 6/15
