Adding or Editing Synthesis Purification in a Sample

...

Fill in the information as described in the following table: 

...

Fill in the general information about the purification.

  • Select a Purification Type. (TBD: What guidance can we provide here for choosing interim or final?)

  • Select a Protocol. (TBD: In the Dev tier, no values show up in this drop-down list for me. Do we need to provide guidance for choosing a value?)

  • Specify the Yield. (TBD: What guidance can we provide here for specifying a value?)

...

Fill in the design and methods information about the purification.

  • In the Design and Methods Description field, enter a description for the purification design and methods.

    Info
    titleAdding extra lines

    If you include an extra line between text in the Design and Methods Description, the line separation is preserved when you save or update the purification information.

  • Next to Technique and Instruments, click Add to expand the panel. For details on specifying techniques and instruments used to derive the data, refer to (link TBD).

Adding Data Findings to Synthesis Purification 

You can add purification data findings to a sample. (TBD: You can add as many as you wish?)

To add each finding:

  1. On the Add or Edit page for synthesis purification of a sample, expand the Finding  panel, as described in (link TBD). 
  2. Under Data and Conditions, add findings such as laboratory conditions, pH, or temperature. You can add data manually or you can import as many .csv files as needed. (TBD: May I have a sample CSV file to import, to test these instructions?)
    • To import a file of data values

      1. Save a spreadsheet of data values to a csv (comma-separated value) file.

      2. Click Import csv. Select the data file and follow the prompts to add it. The system adds columns and data under Data and Conditions.

    • To add the data values manually

      1. Specify the number of columns and rows for the matrix, and click Update.

      2. Add the data values to the rows.

  3. Whether you imported values or added values manually, you can preface each data value with one of the following: Maintain the default, equal to (=), or select greater than (>), less than (<), or infinity (approximate). (TBD: On the Dev tier, these drop-down lists are empty.)

  4. To define a column, click an underlined column heading. The Column Definition panel appears.
  5. Select a Column Type, Datum or Condition.
  6. Select a Column Name or select other and add a new one. You can add up to three cell viability Column Names, including cell viability, cell viability B, and cell viability C. You can further identify the column with the Column Value Type.

    • For Column Type Datum, (Column Name options TBD: What column types are available for each column name?).

    • For Column Type Condition, (Column Name options TBD: Same table as for Characterization?). 

  7. To further identify a column, select a Column Value Type. Once the column information is saved, the Column Type is shown in parentheses after the Column Name, such as cell viability (mean). (TBD: In Dev tier, for condition, no values show up in this drop-down list for me.)

  8. Select a Column Value Unit, or select other and add one.
  9. If you want the same value to fill all rows in a column, add a Constant Value. For Column Value Type, boolean, enter a Constant Value of 1 for true and 0 for false.

  10. Click Save. The system updates the columns. If needed, click Set Column Order to change the order of the column headings in the matrix.

  11. Click Save in the Finding panel.

Adding Supporting Documents to a Sample

You can add supporting documents to a sample. You can add as many files as you wish.

To add each file

...

  • For Upload, click Choose File. Browse to the file and select it. 
  • Otherwise, enter the file's URL where the document is located.

...

  1. Select the File Type (required): Document, Graph, Image, Movie, PDF, or Spreadsheet.
