Non-clinical research teams laying out experimental plates.

Randomised plate layout planner

PlateWeave balances each condition's replicates across plates so any two plates differ by at most 1 replicate of that condition. It does not equalize total counts between conditions, nor does it balance across rows.

Before you begin

Common questions.

Is this for clinical samples?

No. It is for non-clinical research layouts only.

Will it drive my liquid handler?

No. It outputs a generic transfers file in whole nanolitres, not a robot-specific program.

Which plate sizes are supported?

96-well and 384-well destinations.
