Workflows and Tools

TeselaGen assists you in automating processes with iterative steps to update your Lab Inventory Management System automatically with the input reagents or materials used and by adding the outputs of those reactions on existing samples, or even creating new plates or tubes with your new output materials. This is carried out through workflow definitions, where you describe the steps followed in your protocol as a series of tasks to accomplish, which we call Tools. You can find them under the Tools library in the left side panel.


Dehydration Tool

After clicking on "Submit", a new window will inicate that the dehydration was successfully carried out. We can click on the "Plates Updated" line to go to the updated plate entry.

Now, our dehydrated plate looks like this. Notice the aliquots are represented on an orange color:
