The Reagents Screen Overview

The Reagents screen is used to manage reagents maintained by eLab and is accessed by clicking the Reagents button (see figure 9.1).

Figure 9.1. The Reagents screen.

The screen is divided into two sections, the search criteria section at the top and the reagent section at the bottom, as shown in figure 9.1. When the Search button is pressed it is the values of the search criteria section which determine the reagents displayed in the reagent section below. Once you have found the reagents you were looking for you can use the options of the Reagent Actions group to edit the reagent details.

To import a reagent click the Add button (see figure 9.1).

Each reagent has an associated reagent type which describes what that reagent is. For example, ethanol has the reagent type Ethanol. The Reagent Types button displays the Reagent Types dialogue that allows you add, remove and edit the sample types that are available.
