SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROGRESSING SAMPLES THROUGH A WORKFLOW BASED ON SELECTION CRITERIA AND AUTOMATICALLY CAPTURING WORKFLOW DECISIONS

摘要

Example embodiments provide systems and methods for automatically interfacing with a screening system configured to screen a plurality of samples according to at least one hit criterion. The hit matching system, which may be accessible to users via a network connection, programmatically identifies a subset of samples that meet the hit criterion; the hit criterion that gave rise to the subset of samples are preserved in an output structure for future re-analysis. The output can be provided to the screening system, which can automatically rescreen the subset of samples. By programmatically pushing the samples to be rescreened back to the screening instrument, the instrument can rescreen the samples in a short period of time. The cherry-picking lists (represented by the subset(s) of samples) allow for selected hits to be re-arrayed in a smaller and more manageable format for secondary and tertiary analysis.
