Research direction

Start by locating the code that generates the amplicon and shotgun prep sheet outputs, then compare how robot information is collected for each process. Check how LabControl records the compression-step robot and determine where it should appear in the shotgun output. Done means the shotgun prep sheet includes that robot information without changing the amplicon output.

The amplicon prep sheet includes info on the robots used for various steps of the sample handling. The shotgun process includes a compression step (which the amplicon process does not) for which LabControl records the robot used (see screenshot) ... should this be included in the shotgun prep sheet output?
