3. Click Export. The selected operations will be saved as an XML le (.xml).
To export existing Liberty methods:
1. In the Export menu, click on the Methods tab and select the methods to export. Click Select All to select all
methods.
2. Click Export. The selected operations will be saved as a JSON le (.json).
CAUTION
All operations must be exported separately from the Liberty methods. Attempting to export methods and
operations at the same time will not work as two different le types cannot be created at the same time.
NOTE
When exporting Liberty methods, all associated cycles are also exported with the method. These include
default and custom resin, amino acid, and nal deprotection cycles.
Importing Microwave Methods, Operations, and Settings
The Liberty Blue application software allows settings, operations, Liberty methods, cycles, and associated
microwave methods to be transferred from one Liberty Blue Software database to another. To import existing

2. To import methods and cycles, select “Methods and Cycles…”. Select the appropriate JSON le from the
computer then click Open. The Liberty methods will automatically start importing to the current database.
3. To import operations, select “Operations…”. Select the appropriate XML le from the computer then click Open.
The operations will automatically start importing to the current database.
4. To import settings, select “Settings...”. Select the appropriate JSON le from the computer then click Open. The
settings will automatically start importing to the current database.
NOTE
When importing Liberty methods into a new database, all associated cycles are also imported. These
cycles include default and custom resin, amino acid, and nal deprotection cycles.
Calculators
The Liberty Blue application software contains two calculators that allow for easy determination of reagent needs
and reagent preparation: the Usage Calculator and the Reagent Calculator. These calculators are accessed
from the Calculators menu.
