Description

ISA-TAB-Nano introduced the Material file. The ISA-TAB specification does not include it.
- The Material file describes the composition of the material formulation
...
- . The Material file is an important file that is designed to allow for nanomaterial comparison across nanotechnology resources.
...
- An investigation typically involves the preparation of multiple materials that are tested.These materials could be of the same chemical composition (same type and amount of chemical components in the sample) or different chemical compositions. Materials of different chemical composition or physical characteristics should be described in separate Material files.
File Format
The Material file looks similar to the Study and Assay files. It is a horizontally oriented spreadsheet containing tab delimited row values representing multiple values. The Material file contains information on the material, the relationship between material constituents, and a description of the material file. An The following table provides an example subset of this format is provided in TABLE 1.
TABLE 1: Example Subset of the Material File Format
A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|
Material Source Name | Material Name | Manufacturer Lot Identifier | Material Description |
NCL-20-1 | g4_tris_dendrimer | G4 tris(hydroxyl) terminated PAMAM dendrimer | |
NCL-20-1 | g4_tris_core |
A For a detailed example leveraging data from the Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory (NCL) NCL200612 is provided on , refer to the Material File Examples wiki page.
...
Material source name--- The unique identification name of the source from which the material sample is derived. Its This value is used as the value for should match that used for source name in ISA-TAB-Nano study files, thereby linking the ISA-TAB-Nano Material file and the Study file.
Material name---The unique identification name for the sample and its different components. This name is used to identify or reference identifies or references the different components across the ISA-TAB-Nano files.
...
Material intended application---The application for which a drug, nanoparticle or other substance is formulated and tested (e.g., such as MRI).
Material type---One or more terms used to classify the type of material sample. Multiple terms are entered as a semicolon-delimited list.
...
Material linkage type---The type of linkage present in a nanoparticle sample (for example, attachment, encapsulation, entrapment etc.). If the linkage type is an entrapment or encapsulation, the material type column can specify whether the constituent is entrapped or encapsulated encapsulated.
Material data file --- The name of files (e.g. such as Image, Structures file) containing information about the material sample. There are a few ways to capture multiple files here. 1. Reference one file per row. 2. Create an archive (i.e. zip, tar.gz) file containing all the relevant files and reference the archive file name in one row. 3. Reference each file separated by a semi-colon in the Material Data File column (e.g. such as "file 1; file 2") and replicate that format in the Material data file type and Material data file description fields.
Material data file type--- The name that defines the type of the material file (e.g. such as image, graph).
Material data file description--- A textual description providing additional information on the material file.
...
Unit---The standard of measurement used if the values for characteristic [ ] columns are quantitative and dimensional. If the term for unit is taken from an ontology/controlled vocabulary, then its term accession number and the term source REF should be defined in the ISA-TAB-Nano Material File.
