# Tutorial - In-Plate Dilution

## Introduction

This tutorial will guide you step by step through the in-plate dilution workflow, from job initialization to final storage and closure.

## Prerequisites

              Required permissions and setup

              

**Sample Reception** role is required to access this workflow.

**Required system configuration:**

- Plate Type `Greiner PP96V`,
- Solvent `Buffer/Medium From Registration`

These should exist by default in the Sample application.

## Workflow

### Job Initialization

[Create a new job](/public/docs/jobs-overview#create-a-job) and select the `In-Plate Dilution` workflow.

### Requesting

- Select **Plate** as Source Type
- Select **Greiner PP96V** as Plate Type
- Specify Request from **Text**
- Copy/paste the plate names in the text area: **PTEST001:PTEST002**  

(Plate names can be separated by colons or line breaks.)
- Click `Add IDs` to confirm. The plates are listed in the added requests.
- Click `Next`.

### Task Requesting

- Added volume is **5 µL**
- Select **Buffer/Medium From Registration** as Solvent
- Click `Next`

### Storing

The [Storing step](/public/docs/jobs-overview#storing) allows you to assign a location to the items involved in the job. First, for the input plates (plates already existing used in the job).

Here, we won’t change the input vials location.

- Click `Next`

You can increment the Thawing Cycle count of the input plates if necessary.

### Pipe & Close

The [Pipe & Close step](/public/docs/jobs-overview#pipe-close) provides a summary page where you can review the job and optionally pipe it to another workflow. You can also pipe this job to another one, allowing you to immediately start a new job using the input plates from this one.

For this tutorial, click `Close & Quit` to finish the job.
