Creating an Optimization Experiment

ROCK MAKER allows you to create optimization experiments from existing experiments and existing screens with single or multiple drop(s). You can create an Optimization experiment in two ways with the same result:

  1. Dragging the desired well to a project, or a folder under a project, on the Explorer.

  2. Using the Optimization tool.

Note: This tutorial is intended for standard optimization experiments only. If you want to create an Iterative Screen Optimization experiment, see Creating an Iterative Screen Optimization (ISO).

 


Dragging

You can drag the well containing the crystal hit to a project, or a folder under a project, on the Explorer.

 

To drag an experiment or screen:

  1. Select one or more wells that you would like to optimize on the Canvas. You can select multiple wells by pressing and holding the Ctrl key while clicking different wells.

  2. Drag the selected well(s) to an Experiment or file under the Projects folder on the Explorer. If you drag the selected wells into an experiment, the new layer will be created within the experiment. If you drag the wells into a project or folder, ROCK MAKER will create a new experiment and then create the new layer within that experiment.

  3. After dragging the wells to the desired location, a Target Type window will appear.

  1. When you have finished, click OK.

 

Using the Optimization tool

You can also use the Optimization button found on the Design tab both in the Experiment and Screen tab set.


To use the Optimization tool:

  1. Select one or more wells that you would like to optimize on the Canvas. You can select multiple wells by pressing and holding the Ctrl key while clicking different wells.

  2. Click the Optimization button .

  3. After the Optimization window appears:

  1. Click Next to continue.

  2. Select from these two options:

  1. Click the Optimize button to continue.

  2. Congratulations! Your experiment is successfully optimized. Please check your Optimization experiment from the specified location.
