This topic covers the tasks performed by a user (not an administrator) in an Assay folder configured for processing instrument data. You'll find a review of terms used here: Assay Terminology, and can review the topics in Assay Administrator Guide to learn how an administrator sets up this functionality.

The best place to start learning about using LabKey assays is to begin with this tutorial which walks through the basic process for setting up and using a standard assay.

• Tutorial: Import Experimental / Assay Data

Once the administrator has set up the appropriate assay designs, user activities with assays are covered in these topics:

• Import Assay Runs
• Multi-File Assay Runs
• Work with Assay Runs
• Re-import Assay Runs
• Export Assay Data
• Assay QC States: User Guide: Available if configured by the admin.
• Exclude Assay Data: (Premium Feature) Exclude data when necessary, due to unreliability or other factors.
