Each experiment can contain multiple virtual screens and helps you track progress toward your research goals. ## Creating a New Experiment 1. From your project dashboard, click **"+ New Experiment"** in the Experiments section. Create new experiment form

2. Enter a **Name** (required) - e.g., "First campaign to find initial hits" Create new experiment form

3. Enter a **Hypothesis** (optional) - Describe the specific goal or hypothesis you're testing Good hypotheses are specific and actionable. For example: "Identified Pocket A on target X as having potential for blocking target X activity through high-affinity protein binder engagement." 4. Click **"Create Experiment"**. ## Experiment Dashboard Once created, you can access your experiment to: * View all virtual screens within the experiment * See candidate results and metrics * Triage and organize candidates * Add new virtual screens or quick-add candidates ## Adding Candidates to Experiments From an experiment, you have two options: Create new experiment form

### Virtual Screen Create new experiment form

Generate or upload thousands of candidates to evaluate against your target(s). Best for large-scale screening campaigns. ### Quick Add Candidates Add up to 20 candidates manually to dock and evaluate against your target(s). Useful for testing specific sequences or small batches.
