Venus– Programming Levels Two levels of programming within Venus • Graphically based tools to quickly create simple methods • Deck Editor • Action Editor • SMART steps • Graphically based tools to quickly create simple methods • Deck Editor • Action Editor • SMART steps • Full access to range of features to build methods that include • Custom user interfaces • Worklists for sample information • Control of Hamilton or 3rd party devices i.e. plate readers • Sample tracking using barcodes • Full access to range of features to build methods that include • Custom user interfaces • Worklists for sample information • Control of Hamilton or 3rd party devices i.e. plate readers • Sample tracking using barcodes
Venus – Graphical Programming Deck Editor Tool for creating a deck layout A deck layout is required for each method so venus knows where to pipette or move plates • Either modify an existing layout or create a new one • Venus comes with set of labware installed including carriers and plates Tool for creating a deck layout A deck layout is required for each method so venus knows where to pipette or move plates • Either modify an existing layout or create a new one • Venus comes with set of labware installed including carriers and plates More Details
Venus – Graphical Programming Action Editor Tool for method planning Drag action from Toolbox to between Start and End blocks to create assay workflow Insert step into an action to perform pipetting or plate movement Action Editor Tool for method planning Drag action from Toolbox to between Start and End blocks to create assay workflow Insert step into an action to perform pipetting or plate movement More Details
Venus – Graphical Programming SMART steps • Wizards to guide you through setting up a pipetting process • Simple (1-1) – transfer from one source well to one destination well • Replica (1-n) - transfer from one source well to multiple destination wells • Pooling (n-1) - transfer from multiple source wells to one destination well • Aliquot – multidispensing from single aspirate • Simple (1-1) – transfer from one source well to one destination well • Replica (1-n) - transfer from one source well to multiple destination wells • Pooling (n-1) - transfer from multiple source wells to one destination well • Aliquot – multidispensing from single aspirate
Venus – Graphical Programming SMART steps • Information required • Where to aspirate from • Where to dispense to • Volume • Tip type • Liquid class Where to aspirate from Where to dispense to Volume Tip type Liquid class More Details
Venus – Graphical Programming Drag and drop programming of SMART steps Concept enables user to select which wells to aspirate from or dispense to during creation of SMART step Simply click on wells to be used and drag into appropriate box within SMART step • Concept enables user to select which wells to aspirate from or dispense to during creation of SMART step • Simply click on wells to be used and drag into appropriate box within SMART step More Details
Venus– Graphical Programming Quick method creation – putting it all together • Create deck layout With this approach • Select wells required for each SMART step created. Two videos with information sheets available demonstrating this approach. • Distribute buffer using Aliquot SMART step • Plate to plate transfer using Simple (1-1) SMART step With this approach • Select wells required for each SMART step created. Two videos with information sheets available demonstrating this approach. • Distribute buffer using Aliquot SMART step • Plate to plate transfer using Simple (1-1) SMART step • Insert action block • Plan method in Action Editor • Insert SMART step into Action Block • Fill out SMART step wizard • Test in simulation mode
