Description Usage Format Initialization

A sample is a template solution with defined concentation. Since dilutions of the same material differ in concentration, they are considered different samples. A technical replicate samples should contain the same name (reactions are performed on the same material), and biological replicates should contain different names (the template derived from the different biological replicates is are divergent). Serial dilutions in a standard curve must have different names (preferably stating their dillution). Inherits: rdmlBaseType.

@section Fields:

id: idType. Concentration of the template in nanogram per microliter in the final reaction mix.
description: checkString.
documentation: list of idReferencesType.
xRef: list of xRefType.
annotation: list of annotationType.
type: sampleTypeType.
interRunCalibrator: checkFlag. TRUE if this sample is used as inter run calibrator.
quantity: quantityType. Quantity - The reference quantity of this sample. It should be only used if the sample is part of a standard curve. The provided value will be used to quantify unknown samples in absolute quantification assays. Only the use of positive integers (like 1, 10, 100, 1000) and fractions (e.g. 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001) is acceptable. The use of exponents (1, 2, 3, 4 or -1, -2, -3, -4) if forbidden, because it will not be interpreted as 10E1, 10E2, 10E3, 10E4 or 10E-1, 10E-2, 10E-3, 10E-4.
calibratorSample: checkFlag. TRUE if this sample is used as calibrator sample.
cdnaSynthesisMethod: cdnaSynthesisMethodType.
templateQuantity: templateQuantityType.
