Adding Data Findings to Synthesis Purification 

To add findings to purification information, you can add data directly to Data and Conditions by creating columns and adding data manually or you can import as many .csv files as needed. Information can include laboratory conditions, pH, or temperature. You can add as many files as you wish.

  1. Add data values to Data and Conditions.

    1. To import a file of data values

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

      2. Click Import csv and select and follow the prompts to add the data file to the Findings Info.

      3. The columns and data are added to Data and Conditions.

    2. 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.

  2. Whether you imported or added information 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).

  3. To define a column, click an underlined column heading.
    The Column Definition panel displays.
  4. Select a Column Type, Datum or Condition.
  5. 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).

    • For Column Type Condition, (Column Name options TBD). 

  6. 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).

  7. Select a Column Value Unit, or select other and add one.
  8. 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.

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

  10. Click Save in the Finding section.
