Compound
The compound is the basic unit for chemical data. In general,
a compound contains a stucture, a name, a supplier and a catalog number.
Most compounds are given by vendors in the standard MDL file format.
SLIMS only supports this file format for compound loading.
Many times the file format will also indicate in which plates the compounds
are located. This is the easiest way in which to load compound plates
as their locations are specified.
Note: A compound is really consider a virtual non-physical database
entry. Adding a location to a compound constitutes a batch. Since a compound can be in multiple places,
different batches may reference the same compound. All results that
are loaded into SLIMS will require a batch.
