Editing the settings tables<br />

All of the settings tables have the same basic<br />

interface. Data is stored in a table. By default the<br />

table opens in Browse Mode (as seen by the active<br />

browse button). While in Browse mode, the user<br />

can view the settings listed, but cannot make any<br />

changes. To make changes to a settings table, click<br />

Edit.<br />

When in Edit Mode, the Add, Delete, and Cancel<br />

buttons are visible.<br />

Plate Formats<br />

Plate Formats are defined as a format indicating the<br />

layout in a plate of the general contents of each well.<br />

For this reason, the Plate Format setting needs a<br />

Physical Plate Type defined in order to have a<br />

general idea of the layout and capacity of the wells<br />

in the plate first. There are two steps in defining a<br />

plate format.<br />

Defining a Plate Format<br />

The following attributes can be defined for a Plate<br />

Format:<br />

• Name - the name of the plate format<br />

• Physical Plate Format - the physical plate<br />

format to be used for the plate's layout<br />

Defining Attributes of the Plate<br />

After entering values for the above attributes, it is<br />

necessary to define the general contents of each<br />

well. This is accomplished by opening the Plate<br />

format (by double-clicking on the appropriate row).<br />

The plate opens with the number of wells defined<br />

in the Physical Plate Format. The default is all wells<br />

contain the well format compound.<br />

The default well format options are:<br />

• <strong>Com</strong>pound - a compound can be inserted in<br />

the well<br />

• Empty - the well remains empty<br />

• Positive Control - this well is reserved for a<br />

positive control<br />

• Negative Control - this well is reserved for a<br />

negative control<br />

More well formats can be defined by the user. For<br />

more information about editing the entries in the<br />

Plate Formats table, please see “Editing the settings<br />

tables” on page 135.<br />
