Note: Whenever you create a new experiment, existing experiment worksheets are retained. If you want to delete
them, right-click each experiment tab and select Delete or use the experiments floating form (Combi Options>E-
xperiment>Delete).
Go to Combi Options>Experiment>Toggle to hide/unhide all the experiment worksheets in the workbook.
Configuring plates
After you create an experiment, you can assign your products to product wells and your experiment reactants to react-
ant block plates. This is useful if you are going to use a robotic synthesizer. You can configure plates of up to 50 rows
and 50 columns.
To set up assignments:
1. Open either an Experiment Reactant or Experiment Product worksheet.
2. Go to ChemOffice13>CombiChem>Plates>Configure Plates.
The Configure Plates dialog box appears.
3. In the Configuration of: drop-down list, select either Product Plates or Reactant Block Plates.
4. Enter the number of rows and columns to assign to the plate.
The numbered buttons represent wells in the plate you chose.
5. Designate which wells you want to use as controls, synthesized compounds, and left empty. Click a well to
change its designation.
6. When you are finished, click Apply.
Assigning plates
The next step is to assign plates to each reactant and product.
To assign the reactants or products to plates:
1. Select an Experiment-Reactant worksheet.
2. Go to ChemOffice13>CombiChem>Plates>Assign to Wells.
3. Select a product worksheet.
4. Go to ChemOffice13>CombiChem>Plates>Assign to Wells.
