Importing Chip, Sample, and Study Information
On the Sample Information and Study Information sub-tabs of the Chip Summary tab, you
can enter names and comments regarding chip, samples, and study. The information you
enter here may be very similar for further chip runs or other assays. Once you have
entered the information, you can export it into a separate file (see “Exporting Chip Run
Data” on page 264), which you can then import into other chip data (.xad) or assay (.xsy)
files instead of typing it anew.
The import/export files can have the extension .txt or .csv, and have a fixed form, which
differs for electrophoretic and flow cytometric assays.
To import chip, sample, and study information:
1 On the Chip Summary tab, click on Import....
2 The Import Sample Information dialog box appears.
3 Select the file that contains the information you want to import, and click Open.
The Sample Information and Study Information sub-tabs update to show the imported
data.
4 From the File menu, select Save to make the changes permanent.
