Overview

A laboratory run file is a grouping of samples from many jobs, for analysis by a particular instrument and scheme(s). The file is typically uploaded to the instrument so that the instrument software uses it to determine the details of each sample analysed on the instrument, for inclusion in its output result file. When samples are included in a laboratory run, they are written to a .RUN text file. This run file can be used by the On-line application to read sample idents as samples are analysed.

Process

Instrument run file creation sessions are managed using the Batch application.

The scheme sample search provided in the Batch application is essentially a sample-scheme-centric search, that is, samples are returned based on matching schemes, sample dates, sample type, the analyte status and laboratory batch status of CUID scheme analytes, and job numbers.

Before this search, samples are set to a batching waiting or batching ready state, typically based upon their preparation state using the Setting Waiting Times on Analysis process.

Locate instrument run file samples by scheme

The instrument sample search provided in the Batch application is also essentially a sample-scheme-centric search, that is, samples are returned based on instruments and schemes, sample dates, sample type, and the analyte status and laboratory batch status of CUID scheme analytes.

Locate instrument run file samples by instrument

Note: Ensure that analytes are registered for the job scheme. If no job scheme analytes exist, then the sample schemes will not be located for batching.

Once samples are located using various criteria, some or all of the samples are selected for inclusion in an instrument run file.
