Well Formats
Well Formats define the general contents of a well.
The well format is used when defining Plate
Formats. The default Well Formats are:
• Compound - a compound can be inserted in
the well
• Empty - the well remain empty
• Positive Control - this well is reserved for a
positive control
• Negative Control - this well is reserved for a
negative control
It is important to note that the only well that the
system recognizes as a well in which a compound
from a database can be inserted, is a well with the
Compound Well Format.
For more information about editing the entries in
the Well Formats table, please see “Editing the
settings tables” on page 135.
