LabelSample

LabelSample[Options]⟹UnitOperation

generates an ExperimentSamplePreparation/ExperimentCellPreparation-compatible UnitOperation that labels a sample in a container for use in other primitives.

    
LabelSample prepares samples and assigns them labels that can be used in other downstream unit operations.
    

Experimental Principles

    Figure 1.1: The LabelSample and LabelContainer unit operations will fulfill requests for samples/containers either by using an existing sample/container, purchasing a sample/container from the ECL inventory, transferring an existing sample into a new requested container, or by making the sample via ExperimentStockSolution. The fulfilled sample or container can then be used downstream by referring to its assigned label.

    Eppendorf Research Plus, 12-channel 1200uL

    Figure 2.4.1: 1 to 12 samples can be transferred at the same time using the 12 channel pipette.

    HandEvac Handheld Aspirator, Tissue Culture

    Figure 2.5.1: The aspirator can be used to aspirate any volume from a sample using a single channel or 8 channels. Aspirators are currently only available in the BSC (both Microbial and Tissue Culture) and are used for cell culture applications.

    Figure 2.6.1: Items are transferred through an ionizer, which floods the local environment with positive and negative ions. This removes any static electricity that has built up on items and provides a more stable and accurate mass reading.The user must explicitly specify the Micro-Balance using the option Instrument -> Model[Instrument,Balance,"id:54n6evKx08XN"] if so desired.

    Figure 2.9.1: Fuming samples are automatically routed to use a fume hood as the TransferEnvironment in ExperimentTransfer. Airflow velocity in the fume hood is tracked by ECL Constellation and can be viewed by inspecting the instrument object.

    Thermo Scientific 1300 Series Class II, Type A2 Biosafety Cabinet (Tissue Culture)

    Figure 2.10.1: A biosafety cabinet will be used when transfering into/out of cell samples. Microbial samples must be handeled in the Microbial BSC and Tissue Culture samples must be handeled in the Tissue Culture BSC (specified by the CultureHandling field in the Model[Instrument, BiosafetyCabinet]). All biosafety cabinets have a full set of micropipettes, serological pipette, sterile cooler, sterile heater, aspirator, and analytical balance.

All biosafety cabinets have a full set of micropipettes, serological pipette, sterile cooler, sterile heater, aspirator, and analytical balance.

    NexGen Glove Box

    Figure 2.12.1: The glove box can be used to perform transfers under an inert atmosphere. Note that certain samples (InertCatalystIncompatible->True) cannot be used inside of the glove box. This is because some samples that contain sulfur and sulfur compounds (such as H2S, RSH, COS, SO2, SO3) deactivate the catalyst that is used in the glove box to remove traces of water and oxygen. Large quantities of halides, chlorides, halogen (Freon), alcohol, hydrazine, phosphene, arsine, arsenate, mercury, and saturation with water may also deactivate the catalyst.

    Main Lab Portable Heater

    Figure 2.13.1: Containers are placed in the main compartment of the portable heater. The portable heater is filled with lab armor beads to ensure that the entire container is heated to the correct temperature.

Example Calls

    Basic Examples

    Label a Milli-Q water sample in a 50mL tube, then use that sample in a transfer:
    Request that 20mL of 15 mM ammonium acetate is made in a 50mL tube. Then, mix that sample:
    Several samples can be requested in the same unit operation:
    Override the safety information for a sample that is coming out of the Transfer unit operation:
    If the Container option isn't specified, it will automatically be set to the smallest Preferred Container that can hold the requested amount of sample:
    The ExactAmount option is an advanced option that indicates that a sample with a precise Amount must be used for the experiment. If this option is set to False, a sample with MORE than the requested Amount of volume/mass/count can be used by LabelSample (ex. one already exists in inventory) - this can save time in the lab by reducing unnecessary transfers. When the Amount option is set explicitly by the user, the ExactAmount option is always automatically set to True. The criteria of what counts as an "exact match" can also be controlled using the Tolerance option. The following LabelSample unit operation will request for a water sample in a 50mL tube that contains 5mL +/- 10 uL.

Preferred Input Containers

    LabelSample can prepare samples in any container supported by the ECL. However, it is recommended to use an ECL preferred container to maximize compatibility with other downstream unit operations.
