Parent Run -> Experiment

As of October 9, 2023 we have updated the nomenclature for the run property "Parent Run" to "Experiment". This update has been made to support ongoing work for experimental planning.

What is an experiment? How should it be used?

An experiment is a grouping of runs, typically with overlapping operations timelines used to help manage organizational complexity.

  • For example - a set of 12 or 24 runs that were performed in the same operational window on a Sartorius Ambr could be batched into a single Experiment.
  • The seed flask and seed train runs can also be included in this experiment if that organizational grouping is helpful.
  • Run data can still be compared across experiments by simply selecting the runs of interest.

Impacted User Flows:

  • Filtering
  • Grouping
  • Exports

This change does not impact any existing automated ingestion flows. "Parent Run" can still be used for the column header in manual ingestions.

Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns!
