Structuring the conception of microplate, vs multiwell plate, vs reservoir #9

Open photocyte opened 12 months ago

I recently gave some thought to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Multiwell_plate

Also think we'll need to think about this deeply in the context of the labware-databank.

Thanks, @photocyte, for the clarification: it is a good comment.

Right now, we have no hierarchy of labware classes - everything is a "labware" (a labware can have one well or multiple ones, it could be a compound container, holding other types of labware, etc.). Is there a use-case, where we need to explicitly talk about "wellplate, microwell plate or multiwell plate or trough" ? (the kind of labware can also implicitly be derived from its properties, like number of wells, height, well-2-well distance, etc....)
