Concepts

The PLA 2.x Assay archive document utilizes a set of concepts.

Meta data and data table

The PLA 2.x Assay archive document includes the information that has been extracted from the PLA 2.x Assay document, for example:

  • Source database information (including the database name, detailed PLA 2.x version number, and date of archiving)
  • Name of the assay
  • Assay element structure
  • Raw data
You can access the raw data using the Content editor:

Note: The data is read-only. However, you can copy it into your clipboard or a spreadsheet program for further processing.

Attachments

The following attachments are available for a PLA 2.x Assay archive document:

  • All reports registered within your PLA 2.x environment, including all custom reports.

    Note: Demo reports (for example, a Word report) have been excluded, as they do not hold sufficient content.

  • Graphical representations (plots of the curve fits) of the assay elements using the full and the reduced model.

  • The audit trail entries of the PLA 2.x assay are exported and provided. This lets you follow up on the history of your assay even after you retired your PLA 2.x environment.

  • A PSF export file which you can use to reimport the assay into a PLA 2.x installation. PSF is the native file format of PLA 2.x.

    Important: You cannot reimport PLA 2.1 assays into PLA 2.0.
