When you select Stains from the Administrative menu in the main menu bar, you'll see a list of all stains that have been added to database. The list is laid out in table format with columns containing information pertaining to each stain listed. These columns vary according to how Spectrum has been configured, but all list views of stains contain:
Some identifying information unique to that stain, including short and long names, vendor name and catalog number, protocol number and comments, if any.
Edit and Delete links for modifying or removing each entry in the stain list.
An Add link for adding new stains to the list.
You can sort the list of stains either by clicking underlined column titles or using the Sort command at the top of the list to perform a multi-column sort. (See Sorting.)
