Abstract

Systems and methods of identifying reagents loaded into a fluid processing system may include programming a protocol for preparing a sample into a controller of the fluid processing system; loading the plurality of reagent containers into a carousel of the fluid processing system; imaging the respective labels of the plurality of reagent containers with an imaging device to produce label images; comparing information in the tag image with identification information located in a database in communication with the controller; and determining whether an appropriate reagent has been loaded into the carousel to perform the protocol. A fluid processing system may include a platform, a cuvette holder, an imaging device, a pipette, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and a processor configured to perform a method.

Description

[0001] claim of priority [0002] This patent application claims the benefit of priority from US Application No. 62 / 901,606, filed September 17, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present application generally, but not by way of limitation, relates to fluid handling systems, such as fluid handling systems that may be used in various applications to combine reagents (eg, liquid reagents and solvents). More specifically, the present application relates to systems and methods for loading and sequencing a protocol run by a fluid processor, such as a liquid container loaded for library construction using a variety of reagents and solvents (e.g., for A library of sequenced cellular DNA or RNA fragments) of a fluid handler. Background technique [0004] To perform library construction on samples using a fluid handling system, such as a liquid handler, the fluid handling system is typically set up by an operator or user. T...
