A computer-implemented method for automatically generating dynamic frame packing groups for an automation system having a plurality of field devices. This additional blocked developer can be combined with the main blocked developer of interest prior to dispersing the main blocked developer of interest, i. A first interface is disposed on a first surface, and includes the first coded data. This method is advantageous for cell culture and assays due to the automated manipulation of multiple reagents in addition to reduced reagent use and analysis time.
