Saving a Method

Methods and
Projects
Saving a method
automatically checks in
the method, creating a
record of the revision that
preserves the method
configuration at the time
it was saved. If any of the
project items, such as
labware class definitions
or techniques, changes
after the method is saved,
when the method is
opened next, the latest
definitions are used.
Refer to the Biomek
Software User's Manual,
Chapter 13, Creating and
Using Methods.

Project Files
A project file stores
information about liquid
types; labware and tip
types; well patterns; and
pipetting templates and
techniques as revisions
that are used by a method
file to configure the
actions of the instrument.
Project files store a
history of all changes,
additions, and deletions
of items from the project
file. Refer to the Biomek
Software User's Manual,
Chapter 7, Understanding
and Using Project Files.
