Abstract
A program has been written to transfer a set of discontinuous samples in 96-well storage plates to archival plates using an 80-well format. One thousand samples per day can be processed in this manner. The software can handle different sample volumes, random sample locations, and varying concentrations. This program was implemented on a Beckman (Fullerton, CA) Biomek(r) 2000 Laboratory Automation Workstation* using Beckman's BioScript software, BioWorks 1.4A, Tool Command language, and Microsoft (Redmond, WA) Visual Basic™. This system provides an effective means of selecting and transferring discrete samples.
