Organizing, Backing up, and Archiving 2100 Expert Data
As you begin to work with the 2100 expert software, it is good practice to organize your
files. If you are not the only user of the bioanalyzer, creating a directory within which to
save your files is recommended; having each person save files to their own directory will
speed the process of finding a particular file when someone wishes to examine the data
again. Even if only one person uses the 2100 expert software, it is still wise to review
your files periodically, archive files you are no longer using but wish to save, and discard
unneeded files.
Organizing 2100 Expert Data
Each user in your laboratory may want to specify a particular prefix that will easily
differentiate their data files from any others.
To do this, switch to the System context, go to the System Wide Settings tab, and select
Data Files in the tree navigation. Then activate the Prefix check box, and edit the prefix
string as you require. Note that you can also modify the file prefix before you start a chip
run. Additionally, you may specify that a new directory is created each day for storage of
that day’s runs. To do this, activate the Create Daily Subdirectories check box on the
same screen.
Backing up 2100 Expert Data
It is strongly recommended to save your files to a backup disk or on CD/DVD on a regular
basis. This allows to retrieve the data in case of a system crash or other cases of data
loss.
