Creating a Screen

ROCK MAKER has a library of commercial screens that can be added to your experiments. These screens are available in 96 deep well blocks with a capacity of 2ml per well. In addition to using commercial screens in your experiments, ROCK MAKER allows you to create a personal screen.

At the moment, you can create a screen from scratch, but soon you will be able to convert an experiment to a screen.

To create a screen:

  1. Open the Explore menu. Go to the Nodes panel and select Screens screens_node or Projects projects_node.

    Note

    If you select Projects projects_node, you need to open a project projectfoldericon to enable the Screens option in the Add button add_button_creating_a_screen.
