Mother lines

A mother line is a line you keep on purpose as stock, to start new lines from. Mother is a role, not a stage: a mother line still has its stage and status like any other.

Pro plan

1. Open the line and choose Make mother line. A purple Mother line badge appears, and Start new line becomes its main button.
2. Not a mother line takes the role off again.

• The Cultures tab shows Mother lines as cards above the list, each with its jars on the shelf and how many lines it has started.
• All lines / Mothers filters the list to mothers only. Mothers always sort to the top.
• Lines started from a mother say so: “from mother TC-000001”.
• Archiving a mother line asks twice, and deflasking from one reminds you to leave jars on the shelf.

On the phone, the role is under Change status or role on the line.
