Cherry Pick Request Viewer: Cherry Picks and Plates. Cherry Pick Request Viewer, showing the lower "Lab Cherry Picks" and "Cherry Pick Plates" sections expanded. These sections allow the facility to manage the workflow of generating the requested assay plates. "View Well Volumes" is used to check whether sufficient well volumes exist in any of the library copy source wells, showing a table of available well volumes for each cherry pick. If so, "Reserve Reagent" is used to automatically select a library copy source well for each cherry pick well, ensuring the well of the selected copy contains sufficient volume, and decrementing the remaining volume of that well; the "Source Copy" column displays the selected copy. "Map to Plates" is then used to generate the layout of the cherry picks across one or more plates, respecting the specified layout options (see Figure 9); "Cherry Pick Plate #" and "Destination Well" columns together show the assigned plate and well on the cherry pick plate. The set of generated plates is displayed in the "Cherry Pick Plates" section. Plate mapping files, which map each cherry pick from a source copy well to a cherry pick plate well, can be downloaded for use by the lab staff. As plates are produced in the lab, administrators can update the status of each plate to "Plated", "Failed", or "Canceled". Screensaver only tracks these steps, but does not enforce or otherwise check the plating outcome.
