Group runs by maximum run capacity

Updated over a year ago

Most liquid handling dispensers have the constraint of only a single output plate position for dispensing into. So what do you do when you have a DOE design with more runs than the the number of wells in your output plate type?

In this tutorial learn:

  • how to group runs automatically based on the number of wells in your plate (or your run capacity).

Getting started

  1. Create a workflow that you want to DOE. To learn more, click here.

  2. Define your factors. To learn more, click here.

  3. Calculate a DOE design. To learn more, click here.

Grouping runs by capacity

  1. Scroll to the bottom of the DOE Design panel.

  2. Enter the maximum number of runs you can set up at a time.

  3. Synthace will tell you how many simulations will be required to satisfy the run grouping.

    Note: In this example 4 simulations will be required as there are 384 runs in the DOE design. Each of the simulations in the simulations series will handle 96 of the runs.

  4. Scroll in the design matrix table to see which runs have been grouped to a simulation. In this example the runs will be grouped to simulations in order, such that the first 96 runs will go to the first simulation and the next 96 runs to a separate simulation etc.

Simulating series

  1. Once you have completed your grouping, click on Simulate with design.

    Note: All simulations will be started simultaneously

Well done for making it to the end of this tutorial.
