The Concept of Containers

A container is the database term for anything which contains your samples, and the most common container on I15-1 is a “puck”. If you’ve created samples, you will already have a container created - which we refer to as the box. The box is a conceptual container rather than a real one, and is simply the place where samples exist before/after they exist in a puck.

Before we can move our samples, however, we need to create the containers in the database.

Creating Containers

  1. Log in to http://ispyb.diamond.ac.uk and find your proposal

  2. Click the Proposal dropdown > Assign Containers and select your visit

  3. Click the Add New Container button

  4. We identify pucks by the code on the base. Select the correct code from the “barcode“ dropdown

  5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Add container“

Moving Samples into Containers

  1. Open the containers page (Proposal dropdown > Containers)

  2. Select the container into which you wish to put samples

  3. For any position on the container, you can click the dropdown in the left hand column and select the sample from the ones you’ve created

  4. If you put a sample in the wrong position, you can just go to the correct position and select it there (it will be moved from the first position to the new position)
