Adding Chemical Association Composition Annotations

Using the [Sample] Composition Chemical Association subcategory, you can enter basic annotation information describing the chemical association(s) of the sample and/or functionalizing entities of the sample.

To add a chemical association

1. Access a sample and composition.
2. Add the required nanomaterial and functionalizing entity information.

3. To add data or files to the nanomaterial component of the sample, click the Chemical Association tab or the All tab and scroll to the Chemical Association section.

4. Click Add next to Chemical Association.
