  • METHODS AND APPARATUS RELATED TO MANAGEMENT OF EXPERIMENTS
    Publication number: 20120215481
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes sending an indicator of an availability of a sample from a sample pool stored in a physical inventory. The sample being included in the sample pool based on an attribute of the sample satisfying a condition associated with the sample pool. An indicator that the sample has been selected from the sample pool for analysis at a first test site included in an array of test sites is received. A rule is retrieved from a rule database based on an experimental parameter value associated with the first test site. At least one of the experimental parameter value associated with the first test site or an experimental parameter value associated with a second test site is modified based on a condition within the rule being satisfied.
    Type: Application
