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 file consists of three sections: MATERIAL, MATERIAL RELATIONSHIP, and MATERIAL FILE.contains information on the material, the relationship between material constituents, and a description of the material file.

The tables Tables below illustrate fields in the material file. A detailed example leveraging data from the Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory (NCL) NCL200612 is provided on the Material File Examples wiki page.

Fields

ISA-TAB-Nano Extensions---Since the material file does not exist in the ISA-TAB specification, the entire file is considered an extension.

Material source name--- The unique identification name of the source from which the material sample is derived. Its value is used as the value for source name in ISA-TAB-Nano study files, thereby linking the ISA-TAB-Nano material file and the study file

...

Material file description--- A textual description providing additional information on the material file.
