The articles in this section explain how to generate manual instructions for scientists to follow in the lab using hand-held pipettes.
Once you have completed your experiment by following your manual instructions in the lab you may want to do one of two things:
Mark your execution as complete to tell Synthace that this experiment was physically executed in the lab. You may want to use this option when you have run an experiment from which you didn't generate any analytical data (e.g., sample preparation).
Upload data to your execution to be structured against the metadata that Synthace has for the measured liquids. This might often be the case if you have run an assay and have some raw analytical data that you want stored and structured in Synthace. This option will also tell Synthace that this experiment was physically executed in the lab.
Get started
Read the introduction to this series of tutorials, then complete all of the previous tutorials in the series. For more information, click here.
Open the simulation details for the workflow that you created and simulated in Manual Execution mode tutorial 1.1.
Mark your execution as complete
On the Execution page, click Mark as complete.
Once marked as complete, you will be presented with the option to add a comment to the execution. Add any comment you like to provide context on how the execution of your workflow went (optional).
Note: Workflows consisting of multiple stages or execution modes will have multiple downloadable instruction files. Learn more about multi-mode workflows here
Upload data to your manual execution
On the same page, click on the Results tab.
Click Add file on the output plate that you wish to assign data to.
3. Click the Add File button on the plate of liquids that were measured and select the location of your data file (e.g., your computer).
4. Select your data file.
5. Select the analytical device that you use to measure your liquids, or click Another device to use the generic Synthace data uploader. For details on the file format requirements for uploading generic data see here.
6. The data file will be parsed and structured automatically. Click the links to learn how you can access your structured data for download, and align, append and view your structured data from your execution(s).
