6 | | * Currently, extract source item selections in DNA/RNA extraction wizards are stored using annotations for a start plate; a "DNA reaction plate" library plate with name consisting of "`LP`" plus a 5-figure number, on which the DNA extracts were intended to be placed. However, placement on the start plate is first made during library preparation, and it is not certain that DNA extracts for all relevant items coupled to the plate through annotations, would finally be placed on the plate. Also, a start plate might include DNA extracts for source items coupled to another start plate. Therefore, it seemed natural to not introduce any start plate until library preparation, when DNA extracts are placed on it. A consequence is that extract source item selections in DNA/RNA extraction wizards must be stored in another item than a start plate. |

Therefore, it seemed natural to not introduce any start plate until library preparation, when DNA extracts are placed on it. A consequence is that extract source item selections in DNA/RNA extraction wizards must be stored in another item than a start plate, if one wants selection in later wizards to be restricted to a single group item representing an earlier selection of extract source items. In this case there is not much help to be found in sister project Reggie, since there one normally selects the 12 next items in turn in several wizards. |
