Storing Sample Aliquots for Later Use
When working on a step, you can create multiple aliquots of each sample, move one aliquot to the next step in the workflow, and store the others for later use.
Create Store Aliquots for later use
Add samples to the Ice Bucket.
In the Ice Bucket, create the required number of sample aliquots.
To create the same number of aliquots for all samples, select the number of derivatives to create and select Apply All. (The number adjacent to each sample updates automatically.)
To create a different number of aliquots for each individual sample, adjust the number adjacent to each sample.
In the Assign Next Steps screen, all the sample aliquots are listed.
To store an aliquot for later use, select Store for later from the next step drop-down list.
Resume workflow on stored aliquots
In the Search drop-down list, select Sample, type the sample name, and press the Enter key.
In the search results, all the sample aliquots are listed.
Select a sample aliquot to expand the details.
A prompt appears to confirm this step.
Select Confirm.
After it is confirmed, the search results update and the sample are shown as queued for the next step in the workflow.
In Lab View, the sample aliquot is now ready to be worked on.
