BioTX Lab Suite软件模块
BioTX Lab Suite Software Modules
WellAware Pipet Navigation Systems use the BioTX Lab Suite software to automate many common laboratory tasks. The BioTX Lab Suite is composed of four software modules: the WellAware module for the actual pipetting, the Protocol module for setting up PCR, sequencing and similar lab protocols, the Norm module for serial dilutions and for normalizing samples into microplates ,and the Labeling module for printing and designing microplate and vial labels.

WellAware移液器导航系统使用BioTX Lab Suite软件来自动化许多常见的实验室任务。BioTX Lab Suite由四个软件模块组成：用于实际移液的WellAware模块，用于设置PCR，测序和类似实验室方案的Protocol模块，用于系列稀释并将样品标准化为微孔板的Norm模块以及Labeling模块用于微孔板和样品瓶标签的印刷和设计。单击下面的图像以跳至软件模块的描述。
WellAware Module
WellAware模块
The WellAware Module is designed to use the computer’s text-to-speech voice, sounds, text on the LCD screen, and the LCD monitor’s light under an active vial or well of a microplate to guide an operator through all steps in a pipetting or sorting protocol. The WellAware module is programmed using an Excel (or text) file called an electronic Standard Operating Procedure (eSOP). These eSOP files contain all the pipetting, action or instrument control steps for a lab protocol. The WellAware Module also has an Add Plate graphical user interface that can be used to quickly add sorting or pipetting steps to an eSOP.
WellAware模块旨在使用计算机的文字转语音，声音，LCD屏幕上的文字以及在活动小瓶或微孔板孔下的LCD监视器的灯光，以指导操作员完成移液或分选的所有步骤协议。WellAware模块使用称为电子标准操作程序（eSOP）的Excel（或文本）文件进行编程。这些eSOP文件包含实验室协议的所有移液，操作或仪器控制步骤。WellAware模块还具有一个Add Plate图形用户界面，可用于将排序或移液步骤快速添加到eSOP。
Protocol Module
协议模块
The Protocol Module is used to setup protocols like: PCR, ELISA, sequencing, genotyping, real time PCR, rtPCR, qPCR, or any other similar protocol. Protocols are saved with their own protocol definitions, master mix definitions, reagent lists, plate types, pipet orientations, controls, and source to destination plate maps. Protocols may be pipetted directly into 96-Well, 384-Well, Finnzyme Slidetiter? plates, Corbett GeneDisc? 72-Well, or 100-Well plates.
Once a protocol is saved, the operator just fills in the sample IDs, reagent lot number info and then:
prints out the protocol file for their records
generates a plate map file for the real time instrument (if necessary)
then generates the eSOP by pressing the respective buttons for each action.
At this point the operator will open the WellAware module, open the eSOP, and begin pipetting.
协议模块用于设置协议，例如：PCR，ELISA，测序，基因分型，实时PCR，rtPCR，qPCR或任何其他类似协议。方案保存有它们自己的方案定义，预混液定义，试剂列表，板类型，移液器方向，控件以及源到目标板图。可以将协议直接移入96孔，384孔，Finnzyme Slidetiter?板，Corbett GeneDisc?72孔或100孔板中。
保存方案后，操作员只需填写样品ID，试剂批号信息，然后：
打印出协议文件以供其记录
为实时仪器生成板图文件（如有必要）
然后通过按下每个操作的相应按钮来生成eSOP。
此时，操作员将打开WellAware模块，打开eSOP，然后开始移液。
Norm Module
规范模块
The Norm Module may be used with a variety of real time PCR and spectrophotometer instrumentation to normalize samples to a standard concentration in a new destination plate. The Norm Module may also be used for setting up eSOPs for doing serial dilutions. Plate maps of eSOPs may be generated and printed for lab notebooks in the Norm Module.
The Norm Module is designed to pass sample ID information to spectrophotometers and real time instruments and then retrieve the concentration data from the real time PCR instruments and spectrophotometers. Then the operator can use the imported data to normalize all their samples to a user specified concentration.
The Norm Module is designed to work with:
NanoDrop 1000 & 8000 spectrophotometers
SpectraMax spectrophotometers from MDS Analytical Technologies
μQuant & PowerWave spectrophotometers from BioTek Instruments
SPECTROstar, POLARstar, LUMIstar spectrophotometers from BMG LABTECH
Multiskan Ascent and Spectrum spectrophotometers from Thermo Scientific
Varian Eclipse spectrophotometers
Applied BioSystems 96 and 384-well real time PCR instrumentation
Norm模块可与各种实时PCR和分光光度计仪器配合使用，以将样品归一化为新目标板中的标准浓度。规范模块还可用于设置eSOP以进行系列稀释。在规范模块中，可以为实验室笔记本生成eSOP的板状图并进行打印。
范数模块旨在将样品ID信息传递到分光光度计和实时仪器，然后从实时PCR仪器和分光光度计检索浓度数据。然后，操作员可以使用导入的数据将所有样品标准化为用户指定的浓度。
规范模块设计用于：
NanoDrop 1000和8000分光光度计
MDS Analytical Technologies的SpectraMax分光光度计
BioTek Instruments的μQuant和PowerWave分光光度计
BMG LABTECH的SPECTROstar，POLARstar，LUMIstar分光光度计
Thermo Scientific的Multiskan Ascent和光谱分光光度计
瓦里安Eclipse分光光度计
Applied BioSystems 96和384孔实时PCR仪器
Labeling Module
贴标模块
The Labeling Module can print 2D and linear barcodes onto vial or plate labels. Labels can also be designed and modified in this module. The Labeling Module may be used with a variety of label printers to generate vial and plate labels for sample identification. The WellAware Labeling Module can print Code128, 3of9, and Datamatrix barcodes. When the Labeling Module is open it can be setup to automatically print label files generated from the other BioTX Lab Suite Modules.
标签模块可以在小瓶或板标签上打印二维和线性条形码。标签也可以在此模块中设计和修改。标签模块可与各种标签打印机一起使用，以生成用于样品识别的样品瓶和板标签。WellAware标签模块可以打印Code128、3of9和Datamatrix条形码。打开标签模块后，可以将其设置为自动打印从其他BioTX Lab Suite模块生成的标签文件。
