Annotating a sample is the process of adding biological or related data to nanoparticle entities. In caNanoLab, it involves selecting the sample to annotate, submitting the sample composition and function(s), and entering the sample characterizations (physico-chemical, in vitro and in vivo) via the Navigation Tree. Note that annotating a sample with characterizations includes submitting the source of the characterization, the instrument used to perform the characterization, where appropriate, an relevant protocol, the characterization information itself, and applicable information in the form of uploaded files. A single sample can have multiple annotations, either coming from different sources, or the same data source being tested under different conditions (for example, temperature, solvents, instruments).

Once you opena open a sample, you can use links in the Navigation Tree in the left sidebar to ascertain if the sample has annotations.
