Name True The treatment name is not referenced directly by other data records. The name should be an informative to a researcher reviewing the data. Treatments may be referenced by more than one biological or experiment sample. There are three categories to describe the molecular content, time and/or temperature applied in a sample treatment.

Use Treatment? True If 'No' is selected, you must enter a value in the Treatment User Defined ID and Name columns and that is all. If 'Yes' is selected, you must enter a value in the Treatment User Defined ID and Name columns and the value/unit pair of columns for amount or duration or temperature.
Amount Value False The value should be a number.
Amount Unit False The amount unit preferred terms list has commonly used units. If additional units are needed, please contact the ImmPort HelpDesk.
Duration Value False The Duration Value indicates how long a treatment agent was applied to a sample.
Duration Unit False The duration unit preferred terms list has commonly used units. If additional units are needed, please contact the ImmPort HelpDesk.
