What we need done is basically moving/combining samples from arbitrary wells in several 96-well plates to arbitrary wells in a 24-well plate, for several plates. (The point of all this is combinatorial pooling with error-correcting binary codes for deepseq samples, not that it matters). I already have a python script that defines all the steps that need to happen (i.e. Which source plate well needs to go into which destination plate wells), I just need to figure out the correct format for a Biomek file with the same information. I know the Biomek has an option of loading a file that will tell it what to do, but the manual is pretty long-winded and confusing to read from the point of view of someone who doesn't need to know how to use machine, just to make the file.

Has anyone here done this? Is there an example file you could give me? 2 I can't see the qualitative difference between this question and a question about converting Illumina NGS file formats between different encodings or writing code to pull down a particular chunk of the UCSC database. A lot of questions posted on this site and considered within bounds are not research topics; they're extremely specific requests for help with a practical engineering problem that arose from a bioinformatics analysis. I still think there's a long way between those tasks and installing printer drivers. (And my thanks to those whose main job is installing printer drivers). Perhaps adding a definition of what is considered bioinformatics to the FAQ would be useful to prevent this kind of confusion, then.

Still, I think a question about programming, not just using or fixing, a complicated biology-specific machine is pretty far from 'anything with a plug'. And yes, I'm aware my chances of getting an answer aren't high, but I thought it was worth asking. If I don't get anything, I'll post the information myself once I figure it out, and maybe someone else will find it useful someday. • 290 wrote: It turned out very simple, which really shouldn't surprise me.

Just saw your post and am glad you worked the file out. However, the Biomek software 'transfer from file' step should not crash the software with 600 lines. Robins Afb Co Op Program more. Thats only the equivalent of 6 plates and we have many methods that use a lot more than that. This suggests there is somehting else wrong. You may want to get in touch with Beckman US for some assistance. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
