You can now visualize the outputs of your elements within the workflow builder without needing to simulate.
The element connections are used to pass information between elements within the Synthace workflow builder. Understand the information contained within these connections using the element output interfaces.
Visualizing element outputs
Hover over the output of interest on your element and an interactive popup will appear. For liquids, you can view the outputs either in a list view or, when well location information is available, in interactive plate maps.
View detailed output plate and output liquid summaries
For a more detailed view of your liquids and plates, simply click on the expand icon at the top of the tooltip.
Where an element has generated more than one plate of liquids, select the plate you want to view from the drop-down menu.
Note: Only liquids that have been assigned to a well location, either when defined, or assigned to a position by a liquid handling element, such as aliquot or dilute, can be viewed in the plate layout interface. Liquids that are autogenerated (i.e. by Calculate Stock Liquids), only have a fixed location following simulation and so this information can not be visualized in real-time.
Element outputs are specific to each element. A single element may not have full context of how a plate is used in the entire workflow and so, some element outputs will only contain partial information. In this situation, you will see a warning message to inform you of this.
Element Panels - The element output tab
Every element now has an outputs tab in its parameter instance panel listing all the output parameters that have generated information you can view.
Feature Summary
In summary, you can now review the output of elements before simulating, all from the workflow builder. This makes it easier to understand the consequences and actions of using each element. View rich information about liquid volumes, mixture compositions and plate locations, when needed, or simply keep track of how liquids are being passed between individual elements.
