Class: Plate

Overview

A plate is a piece of labware made up of a number of wells. This class represents the physical piece of plastic.

  • PlatePurpose: describes the role a plate has in the lab. In some cases a plate's purpose may change as it gets processed.

  • Well: Plates can have multiple wells (most often 96 or 384) each of which can contain multiple samples.

  • PlateType: Identifies the plates form factor, typically provided to robots to ensure tips are positioned correctly.

#generate_barcodeObject

Plates use a different counter to tubes, and prior to the foreign barcodes update this method would have fallen back to Barcodable#generate tubes, and potentially generated an invalid plate barcode. In the future we probably want to scrap this approach entirely, and generate all barcodes in the plate style. (That is, as part of the factory on, eg. plate purpose)

Raises:

  • (StandardError)

# File 'app/models/plate.rb', line 440

  raise StandardError,

#stateString

The state of a plate loosely defines what has happened to it. In most cases it is determined by aggregating the state of transfer requests into the wells, although exact behaviour is determined by the PlatePurpose. State typically only works for pipeline application plates. In general:

  • pending: The plate has been registered, but it empty.

  • started: The plate contains samples, but required further processing

  • passed: Work on the plate is complete, and it can be transferred to another target

  • failed: The plate failed QC and can not be progressed further

  • cancelled: The plate is no longer required and should be ignored.

Returns:

  • (String)

    Name of the state the plate is in

# File 'app/models/plate.rb', line 132

def state
  plate_purpose.state_of(self)
end

#stock_platePlate?

Deprecated.

Do not use this for new behaviour.

Attempts to find the 'stock_plate' for the plate. However this is a fairly nebulous concept. Often it means the plate that first entered a pipeline, but in other cases it can be the XP plate part way through the process. Further complication comes from tubes which pool across multiple plates, where identifying a single stock plate is meaningless. In other scenarios, you split plates out again and the asset link graph is insufficient.

JG: 2021-02-11: See github.com/sanger/sequencescape/issues/3040 for more information

Returns:

  • (Plate, nil)
