DPL-702 [RVI] What are the options for consolidation stamping of deep well to shallow well plates? #283
Comments
Options1. Similar to existing Heron
Cons:
2. Migration + CrawlerPart 1: (Existing data)
Part 2: (New data)
Pros:
Cons:
3. Limber
Pros:
Cons:
4. Lighthouse UIPSD Preferred Option
NB. Any plate that is created in Sequencescape via this route cannot be then used for Heron picking on Beckman or Biosero, as you would get the UUID error on trying to create the samples in Sequencescape at the end of the robot run. Pros:
Cons:

Thank you everyone, this is very thorough. I have couple of questions below.
Q. The difference between 4 and 3 seems to partly revolve around the ease or otherwise of checking plates exist in the Lighthouse Service before creating in SequenceScape. |
For option 2 you are tied to GSU setting a flag to indicate if a plate should be created in SS. If it is, that plate cannot be run through the cherrypicking robots as you'd get Sample UUID errors at the end of the run (the samples would have already been created). You would also potentially create many deep well plates in SS that would never be used or stamped into shallow well plates. So it seemed a bit 'shotgun' and hope as an option to us, and could generate extra Heron support RTs. The problem with option 3 is we don't know how to start in Limber with that one. Every other use of Limber involves you scanning a labware that already exists (in SS), then Limber shows you what you can do with that labware next. There isn't really a menu or navigation system. How would the user get to an initial screen that lets them scan unknown GSU barcodes? Maybe the initial bit would then have to be in Sequencescape. The Lighthouse UI route (and yes that needs re-naming) would not be specific to RVI, but the initial version would be specific to plates coming in from GSU into our Mongo database. It couldn't just receive any non-Sequencescape plate. Although you could design it in a flexible way with a 'source' dropdown choice to allow for other sources of plate map data later. It de-couples the source plate import into Sequencescape from the (very) standard stamping step we want to do after in Limber. We want to do the stamp using Limber for now because it means R&D then just need to create a simple method on the Hamilton robot, and we can build the stamp step easily in Limber and have a standard Limber bed verification for checking the Hamilton labware placements (esp if they want to do 4 at a time). Just some config to set this Limber pipeline up so not a big story. Future: A stamp is the simplest of cherrypicks. So maybe this would be an option in the more flexible cherrypicking solution we develop later. Have to consider it does use a different 'head' on the robot (96 tips all at once rather than the more flexible 8-channels more suited to custom cherrypicking). |
Description
As Ewan I would like to consolidate the contents of deep well Heron source plates into shallow well destination plates, primarily to free up freezer space to allow new plates to be stored. The destination plates would later act as the sources for a flexible cherrypicking solution to allow a variety of samples to be picked and sequenced for the RVI project.
What are the options and estimated story costs for the stamping of deep well source plates into shallow well plates?

Additional context or information
This stamping would likely be done on a Biosero robot as simple stamp method (A1->A1, B1->B1 etc.), with 1-4 deep well source plates transferred to 1-4 shallow well destination plates in parallel.
The source plates would be in Mongo as plate map data, either fresh ones coming in via GSU or legacy ones already there. No cherrypicking involved so fit to pick flags irrelevant.
We could drive it from the LIMS and get the source plates created in LIMS as the first step, then have a simple Limber pipeline with one transfer step and one Limber bed verification for 1-4 transfers.
Or we drive it from the robot method and use LIMS API endpoints and pull the sample data from lighthouse and just create the destinations in LIMS as we do in Heron (bed verify just that plates have the right prefixes in the robot method).
Or some other option?
