Layout of samples and controls configured on a plate during an assay.
Note: For a primary screen in 384-well plates, columns 1, 2, and/or 23 and 24 are controls, and the remaining columns are for individual test compounds. For secondary screening, more complex layouts are used and each row may contain a single compound at varying concentrations.
