protocols,  reports,  and  the  preferences  of  your 
experiments;  it  also  saves  time  by  pre-filling  some 
frequently  used  fields  during  the  experiment  process 
and during reporting. 
 
The  first  step  is  creating  a  user  account.  To  create  a 
new user account, press the 

Add User

 Button.

Now  you  will  be  able  to  find  your  User  name  on  the 
drop  down  list  at  the  top  left.  The  next  time  you  do  a 
Perifusion  experiment,  just  select  your  user  from  the 
list, enter your pass

word and press “Login”.
