To add a sample to the list of samples being submitted for microarray hybridization:

Start on the Sample View tab of the New Experiment Request module. This window is the part of the much longer step-by-step process of submitting a microarray hybridization request — see Submitting a Microarray Hybridization Request for a description of this process. This task will normally be performed as you reach the Sample View tab within this process.

Click on the Add Sample button above the list of samples. A new row (sample) will be added to the bottom of the grid.

Enter/edit the data in this row in accordance with the sample you plan to submit for microarray hybridization by clicking on each column in that row where you would like enter/edit data and then making whatever changes are appropriate in that field — see Editing a Sample from the List of Samples You Will Be Submitting for Microarray Hybridization.

The default values entered in the new row will be the same as the default values for the other samples in the list that already appeared in the list automatically (based on information you entered previously). You will still need to add the Sample Name identifier, the concentration of the sample and (if you have selected annotation fields on the Annotations tab) any additional annotations for the sample. If applicable to the type of hybridization you are requesting, you may also need to identify the sample as either a cy3 or cy5 sample, just as with any other sample in the list.
