Composition Overview

Sample composition records information associated with the way a sample is made, especially in terms of its different parts, its constituents. Composition for a sample in caNanoLab consists of information categorized by nanomaterial entity, functionalizing entity, and chemical association(s). Files You can also add files relevant to the sample composition or derivation of its data can also be added.

  • Nanomaterial Entity composition describes the component of a sample that is a nanoparticle.
  • Functionalizing Entity composition describes the substance, physical or biological factor, etc. of the sample that produces a specific effect.
  • Chemical Association composition annotations describes the chemical association(s) of the nanoparticle/functionalizing entities of the sample.
  • Composition File enables you to add files relevant to the sample independently of the entity or chemical associations.

In the Navigation Tree on the left sidebar, click the Composition button. Five tabs showing composition subcategories display on the page that opens.

Adding Nanomaterial Entity Composition Annotations

After you click the Composition button on the Navigation Tree, on the All tab click the Add button associated with Nanomaterial Entity or select the Nanomaterial Entity tab where you can also click the Add button to add composition data. Using the Nanomaterial Entity composition feature, you can Once you access the Composition, All tab, click Nanomaterial Entity tab to enter data or add files pertaining to the nanomaterial component of the sample. The page that opens is organized into four sections. This page Nanomaterial Entity page has four sections and is the same for all nanomaterial composition data, except for slight customizations based what you select in the Nanomaterial Entity field. Instructions for using the page are outlined in the steps below field.
