...

To continue defining Physico-Chemical Characterization fields, follow these steps.

...

To continue defining this characterization, follow these steps:

1. The Assay Type field populates automatically with options that display only for these in vitro characterization selections: Blood Contact, Cytotoxicity, Immune Cell Function, Oxidative Stress, Sterility and Targeting. For details about these options, see Assay Type Options for In Vitro characterizations. Select an option, if appropriate, or if there are none or if you prefer, select [Other] to name the assay type.
2. If the Protocol Name – Version field is available, select from the drop-down list the protocol from which the data is derived. A hyperlink to the protocol text file should appear (if the protocol is not private to the user and the protocol file exists). However, protocol files are not required. Click the hyperlink to open or save the file.
3. A hyperlink to the protocol text file should appear (if the protocol is not private to the user and the protocol file exists - ie. protocol files are not required).
4. Select from the drop-down list or enter the Characterization Source from which the characterization data is derived, such as a vendor or a laboratory (NCL).
5. In the Characterization Date field, select from the calendar or enter the date the characterization was made. Acceptable format: dd/mm/yyyy.

...

In the Design and Methods sections, complete the fields as described in the following table:.

...

In the Finding sections, you can add one or more publications relevant to the sample as well as data derived for the sample. You can add as many files and derived data as you wish, or you can add derived data without adding files.

Click Add to expand the section, then complete the instructions as described in Adding Data and Conditions and Adding a File.

...

After adding one or more files, continue by or if you have no derived data to add, continue the process described in .??????

Adding an In Vivo Characterization

...

To continue defining Summary fields, follow these steps.

...

To define the matrix for the data, follow these steps:

...

To view a sample characterizations summary, follow these steps:

1. Open the sample of your choice.
2. In the Navigation Tree on the left sidebar, click the Characterizations link. Five tabs showing characterization subcategories display on the page that opens.
3. The All tab displays characterizations that have already been added to the sample by category with anchor links to each. In addition, the characterization category tabs also display corresponding annotations.

...

From a characterization summary page, and with curator privileges, you can perform the following these tasks:

• Printing a Characterization
• Exporting Characterizations
• Editing Characterizations
• Copying Characterizations
• Deleting a Characterization

...

To print a characterization, follow these steps:

1. Open the sample of your choice.
2. In the Navigation Tree on the left sidebar, click the Characterizations button. The All tab displays the characterizations summary.
3. Click the Print hypertext link at the top right of the page.

...

To export a characterization, follow these steps:

1. Open the sample of your choice.
2. In the Navigation Tree on the left sidebar, click the Characterizations button. The All tab displays the characterizations summary.
3. Click the Export hypertext link at the top right of the page.

...

To edit a characterization, follow these steps:

1. Open the sample of your choice.
2. In the Navigation Tree on the left sidebar, click the Characterizations button. The All tab displays the characterizations summary.
3. Click the Edit hypertext link at the right of the characterization section you want to change. This opens the corresponding Characterization page where you can edit the file by following the same directions as described for creating characterizations. For more information, see (Sample) Characterization Overview.

...

To copy characterizations, open the sample characterization form that displays the characterization, and follow these steps:

1. Open the sample of your choice.
2. In the Navigation Tree on the left sidebar, click the Characterizations button. The All tab displays the characterizations summary.
3. On the characterization summary page, click the Edit hypertext link at the right of the section you want to copy. This opens the corresponding Characterization page.
4. At the bottom of the page, in the Copy to other samples... box, select one or more samples that have the same primary point of contact (those listed).
5. Click the Also copy characterization results? box.
6. Click Submit to execute the copy function.

...

To delete a characterization for a selected sample, follow these steps:

...

Either on the Publications All tab or the subcategory tabs, you can perform these tasks:

• TAccess To access a publication, click the Abstract/Download hypertext link. This opens the document.
• To add Add a publication to the open sample, click the Add button corresponding to the publication type on the All tab or select a publication type tab and click the Add button. This opens the Submit Publication page identical to that opened from the Publications menu option with one exception:

If you work from the Publications menu option, you can associate multiple samples with a publication. See Managing Publications. Alternatively, if you add publications to an open sample using the Navigation Tree option, you can use the copy feature to associate the publication with other samples in the same way you copy characterizations to multiple samples. See Copying Characterizations.

For more information about adding a publication, see Submitting a Publication.

For information about document details, see Searching Publications and other document topics in the Managing Publications section.
