Protocol: DC title: Library reformatting from Master tubes to Daughter plates DC subject: drug screening DC author: the Computational Biology group Organization: UWA DC submission data: December 2007 Goal: To make 1 working copy of the chemical compound library. i.e. 1 x 96 tube rack to 1 x 96 well daughter plate. Procedure of preparation for experiment: Equipment setup action: Equipment: automated dry store Goal: to leave enough space for the daughter plates Experiment action: Check: Pre-condition: plate is in automated dry store Pre-condition: master tube rack is in offline dry store Pre-condition: 96 master tubes have 10mM compound in 100% DMSO Experiment action: Assign name: Object: plate New name: daughter plate Experiment action: Move: Object: master tube rack Equipment: manually Start location: in offline dry store End location: in automated dry store Experiment action: Move: Object: daughter plate Start location: in automated dry store End location: in transfer station Experiment action: Move: Object: daughter plate Equipment: main arm Start location: in transfer station End location: in liquid handler platform Experiment action: Move: Object: master tube rack Equipment: arm Start location: in automated dry store End location: in decapper Experiment action: De-lid: Equipment: Tube rack decapper Top: cap Base: master tube Experiment action: De-lid: Equipment: liquid handler Top: plate lid Base: daughter plate Lid location: in liquid handler platform Experiment action: Move: Object: master tube rack Equipment: arm Start location: in decapper End location: in liquid handler platform Experiment action: Aspirate: Component: single aliquot Container: master tube Volume: 20 uL Experiment action: Add: Component: single aliquot Volume: 20 uL Container: daughter plate wells Experiment action: Move: Object: master tube rack Equipment: arm Start location: in liquid handler platform End location: in decapper Experiment action: Cover: Equipment: decapper Top: purge Base: master tube Experiment action: Move: Object: master tube rack Equipment: arm Start location: in decapper End location: in automated dry store Experiment action: Cover Equipment: liquid handler Top: plate lid Base: daughter plate Lid location: in liquid handler platform Experiment action: Move: Object: daughter plate Equipment: arm Start location: in liquid handler platform End location: in automated dry store Experiment action: Move: Object: master tube rack Equipment: manually Start location: in automated dry store End location: in offline dry store Experiment action: Check: Post-condition: 96 daughter plate wells have 10mM compound in 100% DMSO Post-condition: daughter plate is in automated dry store Post-condition: master tube rack is in offline dry store ------------------------------------------------------------ Equipment: plates: 96 well, acoustic ready COC, lidded master tubes: rack; to store compound library at 10mM Offline dry store 1 Automated dry store 1 Tube rack decapper 1 Liquid handler with gripper and 96 head 1 Arm 1 Object: daughter plate master tube rack Location: In transfer station On liquid handler platform In offline dry store In automated dry store In decapper
