Creating an Experiment in ROCK MAKER

To create an experiment in ROCK MAKER, you will need to create a protein formulation, define the volumes and locations on your plate, and add a screen. ROCK MAKER includes walk-through tutorials that assist you with these processes via a feature called ROCK MAKER University (RMU). RMU includes both tours and tutorials — a tour is indicated by a tour bus; tutorials are indicated by graduation caps. Tours are informative. Tutorials assist you with completing a task. Once you learn how to perform basic tasks, you can create experiments and proteins on your own. If you need to create both a protein formulation and a screen formulation, follow the instructions below. If you already have a protein formulation, skip to “Creating a Screen Experiment”.

Note: You will be asked to select an imaging schedule during the “Create a Screen Experiment” tutorial. An imaging schedule is only necessary if you want to image the plate multiple times and plan on leaving it inside ROCK IMAGER. However, you must select the imaging settings regardless. You can select 0 days, 0 hours for plates you only wish to image once.
