Synthace’s multi-mode execution feature allows you to design, simulate and execute a workflow across multiple devices. Synthace handles trackability of sample and meta-data information, allowing for traceability across all steps and devices within a workflow. At the end of the workflow, data is automatically aligned for analysis. Continue reading on how to define a multi-mode execution workflow in Synthace.

Open up the workflow building canvas by selecting NEW and Builder.

Multi-mode execution workflows are broken into stages. A stage is a section of a workflow that can be executed independently. To enable multi-mode execution, you need to add a separate Stage for each mode of execution. Click on the + button on the lower right hand side of the screen.

Within each stage, open the workflow settings to set the name for a single stage.

Select the execution mode for a given stage. You can select a different device for each stage and the same device can be used more than once.

Build your workflow by adding elements to the canvas and assign them to a stage. An element can only exist within a single stage, and an element cannot be placed in between a stage divider. Adjust the stage slider to adjust the canvas area of a single stage.

Build your workflow as you normally would. Liquids and plates defined in one stage can be inherited by another. Stages are also considered sequential, meaning all elements defined in stage 1 will be completed before stage 2.

Delete a stage by selecting the arrow under the stage and then delete.

Once you are done completing the workflow, click on simulate to preview the workflow across stages and devices. Learn more about how to preview your multi-mode execution workflow here.
