Typically, it is best practice to enable the plate as a parameter when you are using the plate-based mixing interface. This way, you can ensure that your workflow properly scales and uses your desired plate map.

Toggle on “Mixed Liquids” as an output in either the Make Mixtures or Mix Onto element as an output to preview your plate map and mixtures.

When specifying a parameter, think about any associated parameter you may need to include as well. In this example, it was important to parameterize both the liquid name of the cells and the concentration of each of the cells.

When publishing protocols, you can publish them either to everyone in your organization or leave them private. Only the original author is able to edit the underlying protocol, but all users are able to create a simulation from a publicly available protocol.

As the original author, you can create multiple versions of the same protocol. Before using the protocol, select the exact version you wish to use.
