Plate Creation from Plate Cherry-Picking

Cherry picking is a laboratory process that involves selecting specific batches from one or more existing plates and transferring them to a new plate. This approach allows for the creation of custom plates tailored to experimental needs, such as combining selected samples for screening, analysis, or further processing.

The Plate Creation from Plate Cherry-Picking workflow in Sample enables you to efficiently select and transfer desired wells or batches from multiple source plates into a single destination plate. This workflow is particularly useful when you need to assemble a new plate with a specific set of samples, for example, to prepare for downstream assays or to initiate a serial dilution process.

By using this workflow, you can:

  • Combine samples from different plates into one plate for streamlined analysis
  • Select only the batches relevant to your experiment, reducing waste and increasing efficiency
  • Maintain full traceability of sample origins and transfers within Sample

This workflow can also serve as a starting point for more complex processes, such as serial dilutions or combinatorial screening.
