  1. Select a Column Type, Datum or Condition. 

  2. Select a Column Name or select other and add a new one.

    Info
    titleColumn Notes
    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.
    1. For Column Type, Datum, the following characterization(s) display customized Column Name options.

  3. For the matrix size, enter numbers for rows and columns and click the Update button.
    The window now displays column [#] headings that you can name for your matrix.
  4. Click an underlined column heading. Available options can be specific for the type of characteristic you are defining. As described below, select an option or if there are none or if you prefer, select [Other] to name the column yourself.
    1. Column Type – You must select either Datum or Condition. In the cases noted below, based on your Characterization selection at the top of the Characerization page, customized options may display for the following fields.
    2. Column Name and Column Property – Select or enter a column name.

      If you selected Datum for Column Type (or if appropriate, Condition), the following characterizations display customized name fields. In some cases, based on your selection at the top of the characterization page, customized options may display for some fields.

      For a physico-chemical characterization, use the criteria in the first table.
      For an in vitro characterization, use the criterion in the second table.
