Defining a Compound
Click on the compound icon to open the compound name editor "Edit Compound".
Please define in this dialog compound names with additional comments, for example. GABA,
ACh or ATP. Save the definitions via “Save” button . Click the “OK” button to confirm the
settings. The definitions of buffer and / or compounds are sent to the data base when the liquid
configuration file is saved. They are available either for Roboflow and for Gilson liquid handling.
Using Predefined Buffers and Compounds
Once you have defined a set of compounds and buffers, you can use them for assembling
your liquid configuration - either for the Gilson or for the Roboflow. In the main dialog, the
“Composition of Compounds per Valve” editor, you can choose buffers from the list of
available already defined buffers by a click into the respective "Buffer" or "Compound" field.
After selecting the buffer, for example ORI for the first valve, you can use the "AutoFill" option.
Please click with the right mouse button on the column header "Buffer". The "Autofill" function
will be available. Click on "Autofill" to enter the same buffer for the remaining eleven valves
used. In the same way you can enter and “AutoFill” compounds for the various valves. Finally
you assign concentrations of compounds to the valves. If you use a compound with increasing
concentrations you can use an “AutoFill” function for the concentrations as well.
