There are some basic settings you need to configure if you want to be able to dispense
FORMULATOR experiment designs with the MANTIS.
To access these settings, go to the Tools menu and select Options. You may need
assistance from your network administrator to configure these settings correctly if you are
running MANTIS and FORMULATOR on different computers.
Prerequisites
● You are running MANTIS 2.3.2 or newer.
● You are running FORMULATOR 1.15 or newer.
Step 1: Configure MANTIS-FORMULATOR Integration with the MANTIS Software
1. Go to the Tools menu and select Options.
2. Set Start IS Remotely to ALLOW, ASK or DENY:
● ALLOW — FORMULATOR has full permission at all times to send dispense
lists to the MANTIS.
● ASK — A notification will appear on the computer that runs the MANTIS. You
must grant permission each time the FORMULATOR wants to send a
dispense list to the MANTIS.
● DENY — The FORMULATOR will NOT be allowed to send dispense lists to the
MANTIS.
3. Verify that the plates you plan to use have the same name in MANTIS as in
FORMULATOR:
● On the Tools menu, click Microplate Editor. A dialog box opens.
● On the File menu, click Open.
● Navigate to the plate definition files for the plates you plan to use in your
experiments. Verify that it is exactly the same name as in the FORMULATOR's
microplate definition library. (In FORMULATOR's Advanced View, point to the
File menu and click Open, then select Microplate Definition and find the
plate definition.)
Step 2: Configure MANTIS-FORMULATOR integration with the FORMULATOR Software
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the MANTIS tab and perform the following actions:
a. Select the Enable MANTIS Integration check box.
b. Next to Server, type in the server information. If MANTIS and FORMULATOR
are running on the same computer, type localhost.
c. Next to Port, leave the default setting (7091) unless your system administrator
instructs you to enter another port.
