PCR setup (plate layout)
The core of the PCR workflow. Based on the requests recorded in the LIS, the system plans the optimal, compliant composition of measurement series and PCR plates — and validates full rule compliance before any physical assembly begins.
Strategic consolidation and flexibility (n:n logic)
Mobiolink consolidates the eluents obtained from the extraction stage into efficient measurement series based directly on LIS request data. The system breaks down operational silos: a single measurement series can flexibly combine samples from entirely different preceding extraction runs. The planning matrix scales from simple sequential transfers (where the extraction plate matches the PCR plate layout) to highly complex scenarios where samples from multiple extraction runs are dynamically distributed and mapped across several distinct measurement plates.
Digital safeguarding and rule verification prior to execution
The digital planning mode functions as a critical quality barrier. Before any physical assembly or pipetting begins in the laboratory, Mobiolink subjects the entire planned plate layout to an automated validation check. The software cross-references the setup against stored methodological guidelines, verifying that all mandatory auxiliary samples—such as quality controls (QC), blanks, standards, and replicates—are scheduled at their correct positions and that all pairing rules are fully respected.
The core USP for PCR laboratories
Due to the vast diversity of parameters and control instances, the manual setup of PCR plates in daily laboratory operations is exceptionally error-prone and time-consuming. Mobiolink's algorithmic support eliminates this risk entirely. By automatically resolving highly complex multiplex and control structures into error-free digital allocation patterns, the system transforms the most logistically demanding stage of the entire workflow into a secure, reproducible routine.
Generation of precise physical operational instructions
The system releases the setup for physical execution only after successful digital validation. It then generates unmistakable, precise instructions for manual operators or directly executable transfer files (pipetting worklists) for automated liquid handling workstations. These operational directives define the exact pipetting volumes, the error-free transfer sequence of the eluents, and the precise handling and positioning of all required control and reference substances.
