4. DEFINING METHODS
Methods are the procedures by which a set of pumps execute a
sequence of pre-defined steps and thus a particular flow rate is applied.
Adagio allows you to manage your own methods through the Methods
Definition window which is accessed by means of the Define Methods
button located in the experimentation assistant bar:
The Methods Table shows the list of methods already defined. Each
row of the table shows the following information columns:
• Method Name: The name assigned to the method during the creation /
edit process.
• Pump Model: The model name of the pump in which the method is
intended to be executed.
• # of Steps: The number of steps in the method.
• Total Duration: The total duration (in hh:mm:ss) of the defined method.
• Total Volume: The total volume of fluid that will be infused / withdrawn
by the method at the end of its execution, expressed in the default units
for the pump model selected.
• Modified: The date when the method was last modified.
The Methods Table allows you to select multiple methods in order to
apply the same operation to all them simultaneously. You can sort the
table rows by clicking on the column headers.
