You can further identify the column with the Column Value Type. For Column Type, Datum, the following characterization(s) display customized Column Name options.
Characterization Type Column Type and Column Name Option(s) Physico-Chemical - Molecular – Molecular Weight
- Purity – % purity for sample
- Relaxivity – R1, R2, T1, T2
- Size – PD1, Peak N , RMS size, Z Average
- Surface – charge, zeta potential
In Vitro Enzyme Induction – % of Control
In Vivo Click Other to name the column yourself. For Column Type, Condition, all characterizations provide the Column Name options in the left column of the following table. The Column Name autopopulates the Condition Property options in the right column.
