Figure 3
An indication of the scale of results generated by high-thoughput studies. The example considers the data generated from a single plate containing DNA for studying 96 constructs through PCR, the Gateway cloning protocol (Invitrogen) and small-scale expression screens using two cell lines with each of two experimental protocols. The top half of the figure shows the usage (and therefore requirement to record in a LIMS) of 96-well and 24-well plates, the bottom half shows the number of 96-lane agarose gels, 24-well colony-plate images and 26-lane SDS–PAGE gels that also need recording. In total, a set of 96 constructs uses 34 96-well plates and 36 24-well plates and generates 480 images of colony wells, 1536 lanes on agarose gels and 416 lanes on SDS–PAGE gels. |
