• Direct Connection - BioAssay clients<br />

connect directly to Oracle via Oracle client<br />

software. Best for high-speed LANs.<br />

If a valid username and password are entered for<br />

the appropriate server, BioAssay opens with the<br />

Start Page visible:<br />

Administrator<br />

• Oracle Service -<br />

The Oracle service<br />

where the<br />

bioassayhts schema<br />

is installed<br />

• Schema - The<br />

name of the<br />

BioAssay schema -<br />

by default<br />

bioassayhts<br />

• Proxy Connection - BioAssay clients use a<br />

HTTP server to communicate with Oracle.<br />

Fastest on lower-speed WANs, or on<br />

machines where Oracle client software is<br />

unavailable.<br />

• Server - the name<br />

of the server where<br />

the BioAssay server<br />

is installed<br />

Options available from the BioAssay application<br />

could differ from user to user depending on<br />

permissions. If you do not see something you feel<br />

you should have access to, please see your system<br />

• LTS - Low Throughput Screening - more indepth<br />

screening of fewer compounds.<br />

• Protocol - In BioAssay, a collection of<br />

database fields and calculations that hold data<br />

about a given biological experiment.<br />

• Plate - A means of holding multiple samples in<br />

an easily transportable unit.<br />

• Plate Format - The layout of the wells on a<br />
