Work Stack

CURRENT-tell user when new plate gets allocated

CHECK-record reaction history, also protocol history

CHECK-debugging purposes, log everything that happens

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

CHECK-there are 50ul, 100ul, 200ul tip sizes, must specify

CHECK-if two wells have partial amounts, combine them

CHECK-swap column and row

CHECK-Talk to Jeno about Puppetshow GUI

-different buffer for each protocol

-using multiple tips

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

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

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

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

-save resourcemanager state

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 no two 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

For debugging purposes, log everything that happens. More specifically, the content of what well should be pipetted to what well

Implemented Protocol History recording for samples

Talked to Janoo about what how the PuppetShow GUI show look like and what functionality it should have

• Thursday 6/16
