Library Batch Information

[KimCallan]

can we add a section in the header for library batches called Tip Batch. and a section for qPCR lib positive value and batch

[MatthewMah]

What types of data go in these fields?

[KimCallan]

TipBatch: we need to write something typically like this: Yellow.5.5
We use 4 specific 'colours' (Yellow, Orange, Purple, Agilent), and the last number can only be 1-15, middle number will keep increasing throughout use. so not sure what the best way to do this one is (we're fine with just a text box that we write the whole thing in, unless you want to get specific and only allow the choices above)

qPCR batch: is a date that is the same for a big chunk of plates at a time. I'm thinking it would be nice if theres a way to write into WALDO kinda like a protocol when we make a batch, and then it would show up as a dropdown option? and then when we run out we can close the batch so it doesn't show up anymore?

qPCR lib positive value: is the value in the qPCR column for the sample in the lib positive position (typically G12 for regular plates and B1 for U plates). we would just like this to be visible in the header (is there a way for WALDO to just auto read the cell needed and place it in?)

[KimCallan]

most of these things are stuff we track in our Plate Tracker and so I'm trying to get the headers in WALDO to have the same information so when we look at having WALDO make our Plate Tracker for us its already there and ready

[MatthewMah]

qPCR library positive value is already known for control. Query this out and display in library batch header form. Also put on library batches page if performance allows.

The batching should be similar to how protocols are created and selected.

1. name
2. DS/SS
3. date
4. is active

[MatthewMah]

Considering #154, how should single-stranded batches have the qPCR displayed?

[KimCallan]

we don't track the qPCR values for SS in our Plate Tracker. so the value doesn't need to be displayed. we would like to track the date the positive was made but this would be a different date than the DS one
