# Unsupported Process Types

Currently, the REST API does not support the following process types:

* Batch Gel Image Analysis Run (known at Gel Analysis Experiment in the client)
* Batch Gel Run (multiple 1D Gel Run or 2D Gel Run processes run at the same time)
* Ettan Spot Handling
* Gel 1D Run (known at 1D Gel Run in the client)
* Gel 2D Run (known at 2D Gel Run in the client)
* Gel Image Analysis Run (known as Image Annotation in the client)
* Gel Imaging Run
* Sample\*

  \*When adding a sample to Clarity LIMS, the system actually sees the action of add sample as a process. No information pertaining to this process is made available to the user through the client. As a result, it is not supported through the REST API.
