Abstract

See full text

A system has utility is guiding and tracking the execution of manual procedures. The system includes a support that holds multiple sample receptacles, computational circuitry to execute a protocol script that delivers instructions for executing various steps of the procedure, and a protocol progress sensor that advances the execution of the protocol script. The computer may be comparable in size to a support for holding the receptacles The receptacles be arranged in a frame, may be sealed with peelable or puncturable films and may include identifiers that are read by the system. The receptacles may be filled with a high heat capacity material to maintain a given temperature range. A variety of companion devices may interact with the system using the protocol script. An instrumented pipettor can communicate with the system for semi-automated execution of protocols.
