Optionally, enter a comment to attach to each aliquot.
In the Container control, enter the identifier of the container that you want to aliquot the reagent(s) to. The container is then displayed and the new reagents are positioned in the first free position(s).
Optionally, reposition the new reagent(s) by selecting them and dragging them to a new position.

Note: Each aliquot becomes a new reagent and is distinguished from its parent by the incrementing of the second integer that comprises the reagent identifier, see Reagent Identifiers in Introduction to Reagents.
