VERFAHREN ZUR ZUTEILUNG VON RESSOURCEN

摘要

Methods of allocating resources in a system comprising at least two instruments are provided. In one such method, a list of tests to be performed by the system within a reaction vessel is generated. The list includes a number of reaction vessels used in performing each test to be performed by the system in a given time period. The list of tests is sorted according to the number of reaction vessels used in performing each test to be performed by the system in a given time period. A duplication percentage for the tests is determined. The duplication percentage is compared with the sorted list of tests. Resources associated with the tests are duplicated across the at least two instruments based on the comparison of the duplication percentage with the sorted list of tests such that at least one of the tests is performed by at least two of the at least two instruments.
