Cytokines and drugs, mixed units

Goal: a stimulation experiment where the cytokine is dosed by mass (ng/ml), small molecules by molarity (nM), and the solvent control by volume (% v/v), all on one plate and in one concentration column.

Mixed units

Steps

  1. Select B2:B3 → Compound TGF-β1; Concentration 10 with unit ng/ml from the dropdown.
  2. Select B4:B5 → JQ1, 500 nM.
  3. Select B6:B7 → Ethanol, 0.1 % v/v.

Fields

The platemap export writes each value with its own unit:

well_position,treatment,concentration
B02,TGF-β1,10ng/ml
B04,JQ1,500nM
B06,Ethanol,0.1%v/v

Tip

Typing works too: 10ng/ml, 500 nM or 0.1 % v/v straight into the concentration box.
