In many applications, you will have a factor that is a combination of a categorical choice, which is then sampled across a numerical range of concentrations or volumes. For example, you might want to investigate the type of surfactant to use in your assay, but you also the concentrations at which each type should be used. These are mutual exclusion factors, and the following tutorials will teach you how to define them in Synthace.
Mutually exclusive factors are a common factor type in biological experiments. Read this document to understand what these factors are in a little more detail, so you can decide when they might be relevant for your application.
