Container States

The Container database table includes the stateid column. Unlike the states of artifacts, container stateids can be easily deciphered. (In Clarity LIMS, the stateids correspond to the states displayed in the BaseSpace Clarity LIMS Operations Interface).

As there is no table in the database that defines these stateid values, you will need to hard code the values in your queries based on the information provided in the following table:

StateId	State	Container Type
1	Empty	Normal
2	Populated	Normal
3	Depleted	Normal
4	Discarded	Normal
5	Reagent-Only	Normal
6	New	Array*
7	Hybridized	Array*
8	Scanned	Array*
9	Discarded	Array*

*Since the concept of arrays does not apply to the BaseSpace Clarity LIMS Web Interface, only states 1-5 apply.

Example 1

To search for discarded and depleted containers, use the following example:

SELECT * FROM container WHERE stateid IN (3,4);

Example 2

To see all the arrays in the system that are new and still need to be scanned, use the following example:

SELECT * FROM container WHERE stateid = 6;
