FAQ
Can I use these templates to track sample IDs and concentrations for a high-throughput screening project?
Yes, the Excel and Word formats include editable cells for sample IDs, concentrations, and notes. For screening, use Excel to input variables like well coordinates, reagent volumes, and preliminary results. The PDF versions are static but can be printed for reference during experiments.
Are these templates compatible with liquid handling robots or automated pipettors?
These templates are designed for manual planning and recording, not direct robot integration. However, you can export the Excel versions as CSV files to program liquid handlers or use the well coordinates (e.g., A1, B2) as reference points for automated workflows.
How do I adapt a 96-well template for a 384-well plate experiment?
Start with the 96-well Excel template and duplicate the grid, expanding rows and columns to cover 384 wells (16x24). Label wells sequentially (e.g., A01, B01) and adjust any formulas or macros to reference the new layout. The PDF and Word templates can be manually resized but won’t auto-adjust for well counts.
