Abstract
An acoustic liquid transfer system that includes a processor; a source holding component configured to hold a source microplate; a destination holding component configured to hold a destination microplate; an acoustic transducer configured to cause liquid to transfer between the source and destination microplates; and a controller configured to direct movements, according to an ordered picklist, of one or more of the: source holding component, destination holding component, and acoustic transducer. The processor is configured to access an initial picklist of a plurality of source/destination pairs; obtain a current source/destination pair on the ordered picklist being created; calculate a plurality of movement metrics between the current source/destination pair and at least some of the plurality of source/destination pairs on the initial picklist but not yet on the ordered picklist; select a next source/destination pair with reference to the movement metrics; and add the next source/destination pair to the ordered picklist.
