Description

The ISA-TAB-Nano investigation file leverages the ISA-TAB investigation file, and it allows for the description of the primary investigation and associated studies including assays and protocols. An investigation can have one or more studies. For example, an investigation titled “Dendrimer-Based MRI Contrast Agents” may have two studies titled as “Characterizing the Size of Dendrimer based MRI Contrast Agents” and “Determining the cytotoxicity property of Dendrimer based MRI Contrast Agents in porcine proximal tubule cells” Each study can have one or more assays depending on the endpoint measured and the technique used. For example, a cytoxicity study may be conducted using an MTT assay and a LDH release assay. While a size characterization study can include two types of assays based on the technique used – one using DLS and the other using AFM.
