ExperimentSamplePreparation

ExperimentSamplePreparation[UnitOperations]⟹Protocol

creates a Protocol object that will perform the sample preparation specified in UnitOperations.

    
ExperimentSamplePreparation allows for the incubation, mixing, centrifugation, filtration, pelleting, pH ajustment, and other general preparation of samples to be performed in-line with volume and mass transfers (via LabelSample, LabelContainer, and Transfer). ExperimentSamplePreparation will group liquid-handler compatible unit operations in a Object[Protocol, RoboticSamplePreparation] and manual unit operations in a Object[Protocol, ManualSamplePreparation]. If multiple back-to-back groups of manual and/or liquid handler runs are necessary, a script will be created to run the grouped unit operations. Liquid samples with volumes 1 µL - 50mL can be transferred on a robotic liquid handler. Liquids and solids can be transferred using standard lab techniques at scales up to 20L or 50 kg.

IMPORTANT: Because the dilution curve does not intrinsically include the original sample, in the case of sample dilution the first diluting factor should be 1 or Diluent Volume should be 0 Microliter to include the original sample. If dilutions and injections are specified, injection samples will be injected into every dilution in the curve corresponding to SamplesIn.

For example, if a 100 ug/ ml sample with a Transfer Volume of 20 Microliters, a Diluent Volume of 60 Microliters and a Number of Dilutions of 3 is used, it will create a DilutionCurve of 25 ug/ ml, 6.25 ug/ ml, and 1.5625 ug/ ml with each dilution having a volume of 60 Microliters. For Serial Dilution Factors, the sample will be diluted by the dilution factor at each transfer step. IMPORTANT: Because the dilution curve does not intrinsically include the original sample, in the case of sample dilution the first diluting factor should be 1 or Diluent Volume should be 0 Microliter to include the original sample. If dilutions and injections are specified, injection samples will be injected into every dilution in the curve corresponding to SamplesIn.

For example, if a 100 ug/ ml sample with a Transfer Volume of 20 Microliters, a Diluent Volume of 60 Microliters and a Number of Dilutions of 3 is used, it will create a DilutionCurve of 25 ug/ ml, 6.25 ug/ ml, and 1.5625 ug/ ml with each dilution having a volume of 60 Microliters. For Serial Dilution Factors, the sample will be diluted by the dilution factor at each transfer step. IMPORTANT: Because the dilution curve does not intrinsically include the original sample, in the case of sample dilution the first diluting factor should be 1 or Diluent Volume should be 0 Microliter to include the original sample. If dilutions and injections are specified, injection samples will be injected into every dilution in the curve corresponding to SamplesIn.
    Default Value: Automatic

Sparging involves bubbling a chemically inert gas through the liquid for an extended period of time to aid in removal of dissolved gases. Vacuum degassing involves lowering the pressure of the headspace above the liquid to decrease solubility of the dissolved gases, while continually removing any bubbled out dissolved gases from the headspace.
    Default Value: Automatic

The collection of the target phase occurs after the extraction solvent(s) and demulsifier (if specified) are added, the sample is mixed (optionally), allowed to settle for SettlingTime (for the organic and aqueous phases to separate), and centrifuged (optionally). Pipette uses a pipette to aspirate off either the aqueous or organic layer, optionally taking the boundary layer with it according to the IncludeBoundary and ExtractionBoundaryVolume options. PhaseSeparator uses a column with a hydrophobic frit, which allows the organic phase to pass freely through the frit, but physically blocks the aqueous phase from passing through. Note that when using a phase separator, the organic phase must be heavier than the aqueous phase in order for it to pass through the hydrophobic frit, otherwise, the separator will not occur.

    SamplePhase

    Indicates the phase of the input sample before extraction has taken place. Aqueous means that the input sample is liquid and composed only of aqueous solvents. Organic means that the input sample is liquid and composed only of organic solvents. Biphasic means that the input sample is liquid and composed of both aqueous and organic solvents that are separated into two defined layers. Unknown means that the sample phase is unknown, which will result in both Aqueous and Organic solvents being added to the input sample.
    Default Value: Automatic
    Default Calculation: Automatically set according to the PredictSamplePhase[...] function which looks at the composition of the sample's Solvent field to predict the sample's phase. If there is not enough information about the input sample for PredictSamplePhase[...] to predict the input sample's phase, a warning will be thrown.

    TargetLayer

    Indicates if the target phase is the top layer or the bottom layer of the separated solution. Note that when performing multiple rounds of extraction (NumberOfExtractions), the composition of the Aqueous and Organic layers during the first round of extraction can differ from the rest of the extraction rounds. For example, if SamplePhase->Biphasic, TargetPhase->Organic, and SelectionStrategy->Positive, the original organic layer from the input sample will be extracted and in subsequent rounds of extraction, OrganicSolvent added to the Aqueous impurity layer to extract more TargetAnalyte (the specified OrganicSolvent option can differ from the density of the original sample's organic layer). This can result in TargetLayer being different during the first round of extraction compared to the rest of the extraction rounds.
    Default Value: Automatic
    Default Calculation: Automatically calculated from the density of the input sample's aqueous and organic layers (if present in the input sample), the density of the AqueousSolvent and OrganicSolvent options (if specified), and the TargetPhase option. If density information is missing for any of these previously mentioned samples/layers, a warning will be thrown and it will be assumed that the Aqueous layer is on Top (less dense) than the Organic layer. During the calculation of this option, it is assumed that the additional molecules from the input sample will not significantly affect the densities of the aqueous and organic layers. It is also assumed that the Aqueous and Organic layers are fully separated after each round of extraction.

    Instrument

    The instrument that is used to count and size particles in a sample by suspending them in a conductive electrolyte solution, pumping them through an aperture, and measuring the corresponding electrical resistance change caused by particles in place of the ions passing through the aperture.

For example, if a 100 ug/ ml sample with a Transfer Volume of 20 Microliters, a Diluent Volume of 60 Microliters and a Number of Dilutions of 3 is used, it will create a DilutionCurve of 25 ug/ ml, 6.25 ug/ ml, and 1.5625 ug/ ml with each dilution having a volume of 60 Microliters. For Serial Dilution Factors, the sample will be diluted by the dilution factor at each transfer step. IMPORTANT: Because the dilution curve does not intrinsically include the original sample, in the case of sample dilution the first diluting factor should be 1 or Diluent Volume should be 0 Microliter to include the original sample. If dilutions and injections are specified, injection samples will be injected into every dilution in the curve corresponding to SamplesIn.

    Programmatic Pattern: BooleanP | Automatic

    CrystallizationTechnique

    The technique that is used to construct crystallization plate and promote the sample solution to nucleate and grow during the incubation. For a crystal to nucleate and grow, the solution needs to reach the nucleation zone first, after which it can continue to grow. There are two common techniques: Vapor Diffusion and Microbatch. Both techniques are set up by a drop composed of a mixture of sample and reagents (such as precipitants, salts, additives) in the attempt to form the crystals of the input sample in the drop. In the Vapor Diffusion technique, two separate wells are connected by headspace for vapor: a drop well and a reservoir well. Water vapor leaves the drop during the incubation step and ends up in the reservoir containing higher concentration of precipitant, thus the change in concentration may lead to crystallization. In Microbatch technique, only the drop well is filled. Overtime, the droplet begins to evaporate causing the concentration of the drop to increase. Alternatively, some oil, like paraffin oil, can be added on top of the drop to seal the vapors in so that no significant concentration of the sample nor the reagents change overtime. See Figure 3.1 for more information about the set up for different Crystallization techniques and their courses on phase diagram.
    Default Value: Automatic
    Default Calculation: Automatically set CrystallizationTechnique to a technique that matches with CrystallizationPlate and technique-specific options.

    CrystallizationStrategy

    The end goal for setting up the crystallization plate, either Screening, Optimization, or Preparation. Screening is a multi-dimensional search for crystallization conditions by varying sample concentration, pH, ionic strengths, precipitants, additives to see which combination of variables produces crystals. While Optimization is after finding a set or multiple sets of factors that held some low-quality crystals, to fine-tune the conditions to obtain the best possible crystal for diffraction. Both Screening and Optimization provide multiple conditions for the same input sample. Preparation is preparing the crystallization plate with a fixed set of factors. See Figure 3.2 for more information about suggested options for different strategies.

    PreMixBuffer

    Indicates if various type of buffers (including DilutionBuffer, ReservoirBuffers, unevaporated CoCrystallizationReagents, Additives, SeedingSolution) should be premixed before being added to the drop wells of a CrystallizationPlate. When PreMixBuffer is set to True, these buffers are combined to generate mixtures that share components as DropSamplesOut, except no input samples included. The buffer mixtures are then transferred to the drop wells of CrystallizationPlate, followed by the direct transfer of input samples directly to the drop wells. This process ensures that unique drop compositions for DropSamplesOut are prepared. However, in some cases where the total volume of all the buffer components is below 1 Microliter while the volume of the input Sample component is equal to or greater than 1 Microliter, a different transfer approach is taken after the buffer mixtures are prepared. Instead of adding the buffer mixtures and input samples directly to the drop wells, they are first mixed together and then transferred to drop wells of CrystallizationPlate. The purpose of premixing the buffers is to reduce the sample preparation time for CrystallizationPlate during drop setting step of sample preparation. By premixing, the overall transfer time is minimized, improving the efficiency of the process. See Figure 3.4 for more information about PreMixBuffer.

Example Calls

    Basic Examples:

    Generate a protocol based on a single incubate unit operation:
    Generate a protocol based on a single mix unit operation:
    Generate a protocol based on a single transfer unit operation:
    Create a new water sample in a 50mL tube and transfer out of it:
    Label a sample in-situ and use it in a later unit operation:

    Specify the Preparation (Manual or Robotic) of the Unit Operations:

    Specify that the Incubation should occur Manually (not on a liquid handler deck):
    The ExperimentManualSamplePreparation/RoboticSamplePreparation functions can be used instead if you want all of the unit operations to occur manually or robotically. Note that in order for multiple groups of manual/robotic unit operations to be used, the ExperimentSamplePreparation function must be called so that it can generate a script that chains together these two groups. It is therefore recommended to call ExperimentSamplePreparation over these two other functions:
    Specify that the unit operations should occur Robotically (on a liquid handler deck):
    Generate a script based on a mixture of manual and liquid handler unit operations. When both Manual and Robotic unit operations are used together in a single experiment, a script will be generated:

    LabelSample and LabelContainer Examples:

    Create a new water sample in the lab:
    LabelSample allows you to set certain EHS fields for the sample that is created:
    Multiple samples can be created using a single LabelSample unit operation:
    Transfer a sample into a volumetric flask, and then fill that sample to a volume:
    The Sample option will autofill to the sample used in the last unit operation when not specified:
    If the previous unit operation creates a new sample, that new sample will be used to autofill the next unit operation. In this case, the destination sample created by Transfer will be Incubated:
    Overwriting a container label results in an error message being thrown:

    Transfer Examples:

    Transfer specified amounts of either solid or liquid samples into new or existing containers:
    Specify the specific pipette/tips that should be used to perform the transfer:
    Specify the specific balance (and transfer tolerance) that should be used to perform the transfer:
    When performing the Transfer robotically, the AspirationRate/DispenseRate, OverAspirationVolume/OverDispenseVolume, AspirationWithdrawalRate/DispenseWithdrawalRate, AspirationEquilibrationTime/DispenseEquilibrationTime, AspirationPosition/DispensePosition, AspirationPositionOffset/DispensePositionOffset, CorrectionCurve can be specified. For more Robotic specific options, view the ExperimentTransfer help file:
    New containers can be tagged with a number such that they can be used multiple times within a single transfer protocol:
    When transferring a sample in a BSC (and only in a BSC), a cellular aspirator can be used to aspirate the sample into waste:
    If Amount->All is specified, if the Transfer is to be performed Manually, the operator will aspirate/scoop all of the liquid/solid from the source container. If the Transfer is to be performed Robotically, the Robot is told to transfer all of the expected liquid/solid that is in the container (but there is no machine vision to verify that the robot has transferred All of the contents). Be aware that specifying Amount->All means different things depending on the Preparation method:

    Wait Examples:

    Wait for 5 Minutes before starting to perform the next unit operation:

    Incubate/Mix Examples:

    Incubate the sample at 45 Celsius:
    The Mix unit operation is identicaly to the Incubate unit operation, except that it sets the Mix option to True (Incubate sets the Mix option to False by default):
    Mix the sample while also incubating at 80 Celsius:
    Thaw the samples before mixing at 50 Celsius. The sample will be thawed for a minimum of 30 Minutes, then will continue being thawed for up to 2 Hours, until it is completely thawed. Samples always go through the thaw stage (if Thaw->True) before they are mixed/incubated:
    Vortex the specified sample using a particular vortex for 1 Hour, then continue mixing the sample up to 5 Hours until it is completely dissolved:

    Centrifuge Examples:

    Centrifuge mySamples in specified instrument:
    Centrifuge mySamples with custom parameters:
    Centrifuge mySamples in a sterile instrument:
    Centrifuge mySamples in ultracentrifuge with a specified rotor:

    Filter Examples:

    Use the Filter option to specify the filter that should be used:
    Use the MembraneMaterial option to specify the material of the selected filter:
    Use the PoreSize option to select a filter that will remove particles larger than the chosen size:
    Use the MolecularWeightCutOff option to select a filter that will remove particles larger than the chosen size:
    After filtering the input samples, wash the retentate with a solvent before resuspending the retentate and transferring to a new container:

    Aliquot Examples:

    To aliquot a specific volume of a sample into a new container:
    To dilute a sample to a new target concentration:
    To dilute a sample to the volume:
    To make multiple, identically sized aliquots of a single source sample, the source needs to be explicitly specified for each intended aliquot. For example, to make five 50 Microliter aliquots from a sample into 0.5 Milliliter tubes:

    Pellet Examples:

    Pellet multiple samples and discard all of the supernatant:
    Pellet multiple samples and save all of the supernatant:
    Pellet multiple samples, aspirate all of the supernatant, and resuspend the resulting pellet:
    When being performed robotically, Pellet will attempt to aspirate the supernatant from a PositionOffset of 1.5 Centimeter from the bottom of the container. This is controllabel via the SupernatantTransferAspirationPositionOffset, SupernatantTransferAspirationPosition, SupernatantTransferAspirationRate, and SupernatantTransferAspirationWithdrawalRate options:

    FillToVolume Examples:

    To specify the volume to which the sample should be filled and the solvent with which to do it, set the TotalVolume and Solvent options:
    Indicate allowed tolerance of the final volume with the Tolerance option. If using a volumetric flask, automatically set to the precision of the flask itself:

    AdjustpH Examples:

    To adjust the pH of samples and specify the titrants:
    Limits can be placed on the total amount of titrant and the number of times the solution is titrated:
    The mix step after every titration addition can be controlled:
    Historical data can be used to accelerate the titration process:

    Plate Reader Examples:

    ExperimentManualSamplePreparation supports all plate reader experiments (AbsorbanceSpectroscopy, AbsorbanceIntensity, AbsorbanceKinetics, LuminescenceSpectroscopy, LuminescenceIntensity, LuminescenceKinetics, FluorescenceSpectroscopy, FluorescenceIntensity, FluorescenceKinetics, FluorescencePolarization, FluorescencePolarizationKinetics, AlphaScreen, Nephelometry, and NephelometryKinetics). This is in contrast to RoboticSamplePreparation which cannot perform Nephlometry, NephlometryKinetics, FluorescencePolarization, and FluorescencePolarizationKinetics since these require the NEPHELOstar and PHERAstar plate readers which are not integrated onto a STAR liquid handling robot. Nephelometry measurements can however be performed in RoboticCellPreparation since Nephelometers are integrated onto the bioSTAR/microbioSTAR:
    ExperimentRoboticSamplePreparation supports all plate reader experiments that occur on the Model[Instrument, PlateReader, "CLARIOstar"] (AbsorbanceSpectrosocopy, AbsorbanceIntensity, AbsorbanceKinetics, LuminescenceSpectrosocopy, LuminescenceIntensity, LuminescenceKinetics, FluorescenceSpectrosocopy, FluorescenceIntensity, FluorescenceKinetics, and Alphascreen). The CLARIOstar is integrated with the STAR liquid handlers as well as the bioSTAR and microbioSTAR liquid handlers in ExperimentRoboticCellPreparation. If injection samples are used across plate reader unit operations, the injection samples will be consolidated into the same slot in the plate reader unit operation for seamless robotic operation:
    ExperimentRoboticSamplePreparation supports all plate reader experiments that occur on the Model[Instrument, PlateReader, "FLUOstar Omega"] (AbsorbanceSpectrosocopy, AbsorbanceIntensity, AbsorbanceKinetics, LuminescenceIntensity, LuminescenceKinetics, FluorescenceIntensity, and FluorescenceKinetics). The CLARIOstar is integrated with the STAR liquid handlers. If injection samples are used across plate reader unit operations, the injection samples will be consolidated into the same slot in the plate reader unit operation for seamless robotic operation:

Possible Issues

    SBS Microplate Dimensions

    SBS microplates can be used on all robotic liquid handler deck positions designed for such plates; however, when plates are used on certain positions such as HeaterShaker, HeaterCoolerShaker, Tilt, or stacked on top of other plates, the precise positioning of these plates is important. HeaterCooler positions, for example, have a flat table-like protrusion that interfaces with the cavity on the bottom of some plates. For this reason, many dimensions of plates are stored in SLL and accessed by the robotic method compiler to create accurate labware models for use on liquid handling robots. If these dimensions are not correctly measured and recorded, the robotic liquid handler might pipet inaccurately, which could result in inefficient liquid extraction, pipet tips going in the wrong wells, or damage to tips or plates.

    Wide Bore Tip Transfer Dead Volume

    In robotic liquid transfer or pipette mix, when using wide bore Hamilton pipette tips to aspirate samples from VBottom containers, higher dead volumes are required to guarantee the successful transfers. Please make sure the samples have enough volumes if usage of wide bore tips is desired.
