| Standard Curve ID | True | The Standard Curve user defined ID is an identifier chosen by the data provider to refer to a Standard Curve. This ID may be referenced by other data records (e.g. MBAA results). The user defined ID is not shared. |
| Formula | False | The formula used to calculate the standard curve from the input data. |
| Analyte Reported | False | The molecule or entity being measured. Please select a name from the list provided if the name matches your name or enter a name if there is not an appropriate one provided. This name is visible when the result is shared. |
| Assay ID | False | The assay ID represents the plate or array ID where standard curves, control samples, and experiment samples were collected and assayed. This ID will be used to link standard curves, control samples, and experiment samples results. |
| Assay Group ID | False | The assay group ID represents a collection of plates or arrays. This ID may be used to link collections of standard curves, control samples, and experiment samples results. |
| Lower Limit | False | A number is expected. |
| Lower Limit Unit | False | Lower limit unit established by the standard curve. |
| Upper Limit | False | A number is expected. |
| Upper Limit Unit | False | Upper limit value established by the standard curve. |
| ImmPort Template? | False | The format of the result file depends on the assay type. ImmPort supports results templates (MBAA_Results.txt) for some of the commonly used immunological assay methods. These template facilitate the sharing and re-use of results data in a standard format. If the result file is the ImmPort results template (strongly recommended by NIAID DAIT), choose 'Yes' from the drop down list and do not include a file name in the "Result File Name" column. If the result file is not an ImmPort results template, choose 'No' from the drop down list and include a file name in the "Result File Name" column. |
| Result File Name | False | Enter the full result file name including file extension. The file size name limit is 240 characters. |
| Additional Result File Names | False | See the ImmPort Data Upload Guide for details on where MBAA bead level files are stored depending on the assay platform used. Separate file names by a semi-colon (;). The file size name limit is 240 characters. |
| Experiment ID | True | The experiment identifier must be stored in ImmPort or in the experiments.txt template. |
| Study ID | False | An experiment may be linked to a single study. |
| Protocol ID(s) | False | Please enter either a protocol user defined ID or ImmPort accession for a protocol that describes how the sample was derived and prepared. One or more identifiers can be entered per sample. Separate identifiers by semicolon (;). |
| Name | False | The experiment name is not referenced by other data records. |
| Description | False | The experiment description is used to describe details of the experiment not captured in other columns. |
| Measurement Technique | False | The measurement technique describes the assay method. |
