Sample Aliquoting
An aliquot is a type of sub-sample that is taken or extracted from an original sample.
It is always tedious to document the sample aliquoting process in a LIMS. Labii made it easy with the Sample Aliquoting widget.
The widget enables you:
- 1.Create sample records for the number of aliquots in bulk.
- 2.Manage the list of aliquots.
- 3.Create consumptions for the sample to tracking the usage
This widget relies on other configuration, please make sure these configurations in place to make it work:
The below 2 tables are needed. They can be created by using a table type. If your organization is created using the Inventory application, these tables will be created directly.
- samples
- source_samples
- volume_value
- consumptions
- source
- amount
Before start creating the aliquots, a few settings need to be configured first:
- Column [Source samples] - Select the column that defines the Source samples. The created aliquots will be linked to the sample from this column.
- Column [Volume Value] - Select the column that defines the Volume Value. The volume value will be assigned to this column and the total volume will be subtracted from the parent sample.
- Number of aliquots - The number of aliquots to create
- Aliquot volume value - The volume for each aliquot. If different volume needs for many batches of aliquots, update this value to recreate the aliquots.
- Table [Consumptions] - Configure the consumption table. If this table is not selected, the configuration table will not be created.
- Consumption column [Source] - Select the column that defines the Source of the consumption.
- Consumption column [Amount] - Select the column that defines the Amount of the consumption.
Click the Create x Aliquots button to create aliquots. Once clicked, a progress bar will show you creating progress. The aliquot will be named after the sample by appending "(aliquot x)".
You can click the button again to create a second batch.
Please note the log will be documented at the bottom of the widget.
A list of aliquots will be displayed once created. By default, only 10 aliquots will be displayed, you can click the Load More to load a second page. You can also click the List View button to manage the aliquots in the list view.
To check out aliquots, change the
is_consumed to TrueThe widget will also create consumption for you. Consumption indicates how the sample is used. The experiment field of consumption will remain empty.
