New Sample Creation

Single sample creation

To create a new sample

1. navigate to Samples page by going to Data Browser -> Samples.
2. The button "Create a new sample" is located in the top-right part of the screen above the table listing all the existing samples.
3. Clicking the "Create a New Sample" button provides two options:
   • Single Sample: Create one sample
   • Multiple Samples: Batch-create several samples simultaneously
4. Selecting "Single Sample" opens a popup window where you can enter sample information.
5. Fill general information in the Sample tab. Two fields are required for each sample before it can be saved:
   • Display Name: a unique identifier of the sample
   • Physical State: whether the sample is in solution or solid form.

   The required fields are and marked with asterisk (*)

6. After completing the required fields, four additional tabs become editable, allowing you to provide further sample details including:
   • Container: specify details about tube, rotor or other container holding the sample
   • Composition: create a list of components with details such as concentration and isotope labeling for each of the constituents
   • Sample Properties: enter biophysical properties of the sample
   • Additional Info: store any other details you wish to associate with the sample
7. If you are monitoring an interaction of a molecule of interest with a binding partner you have an opportunity to save information about the interaction using Interaction Manager. To do this,
   • First, add all the components in the Composition tab
   • Click on Interaction Manager button located in the top-right part of the screen
   • Follow the instructions on the screen

Please note that each tab has "Notes" section where any additional info can be entered

Interaction Manager -add

Creating multiple samples

Creating multiple samples feature is a convenient tool that allows batch creation of similar samples that vary by one or more parameters. Examples of such sample collections include but are not limited to:

• Titrations: multiple samples of molecule of interest at fixed concentration and varying concentration of a binding partner
• Screening samples: multiple samples of a molecule of interest with varying binding partners

To create a new sample collection

1. navigate to Samples page by going to Data Browser -> Samples.
2. The button "Create a new sample" is located in the top-right part of the screen above the table listing all the existing samples.
3. Clicking the "Create a New Sample" button provides two options:
   • Single Sample: Create one sample
   • Multiple Samples: Batch-create several samples simultaneously
4. Selecting "Multiple Samples" opens a popup window where you can enter information about the first sample.
5. Fill general information in the Sample tab. Two fields are required for each sample before it can be saved:
   • Display Name: a unique identifier of the sample
   • Physical State: whether the sample is in solution or solid form.

   The required fields are and marked with asterisk (*)

6. After completing the required fields, four additional tabs become editable, allowing you to provide further sample details including:
   • Container: specify details about tube, rotor or other container holding the sample
   • Composition: create a list of components with details such as concentration and isotope labeling for each of the constituents
   • Sample Properties: enter biophysical properties of the sample
   • Additional Info: store any other details you wish to associate with the sample Please note that each tab has "Notes" section where any additional info can be entered

Once the sample collection is saved it can be found in Spawned Sample Collections
