1. A carrier population station of an antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) system for controlling the population of a carrier with a plurality of test panels and a plurality of test samples for AST processing, the carrier population station comprising:
a processor;
a storage device configured to store workflow program code, wherein the storage device is operable when executed upon by the processor to control the AST system; and
a display coupled to the processor and coupled to the storage device, wherein the display is configured to provide one or more workflow prompts to a user;
wherein the workflow program code is operable when executed upon by the processor to:
control a user interface to obtain information related to a test, the information including a test scope and a test carrier identifier;
identify, in response to the test scope, a carrier map and a prompt set;
display the prompt set to populate the test carrier with the plurality of test panels and the plurality of test samples; and
collect mapping information from the plurality of test panels and the plurality of test samples for the carrier.
