Is it possible to import biological data into Instant JChem from excel - e.g. IC50 values and graphs, and associate them with the relevant compound. If so how?

Importing the IC50 data should be straight forward. The best approach is probalby to export it as a CSV file and then import that file into IJC using the file import functionality:

The IC50 curves will be more difficult. IJC can handle them in a number of ways:


1. store in the database as graphics file (e.g .png file). But you need to import each one manually, or create a bulk loader


2. store as files on a file server or web server, and then link to them using a URL field.

In both cases the biggest problem is probably extracting the images out from Excel and assigning the correct identiers (e.g. file names) to them.
