Design Menu

Design menu can be accessed from the navigator bar on the left of the screen experiment page. This is where you design your screen by creating layers and specifying layer parameters on the Layers Design panel. It gives you a visual representation of your plate, highlighting different ingredient types in different colors based on their volumes.
