Workflow
The workflow information is stored in the database as:
- A single experiment entity
- Several step entities with a foreign key to the experiment entity and with parent-IDs that determine the hierarchical structure
Donors and samples
When setting up the study, the system creates donor entities for the donors specified in the setup page.
All the samples (down the hierarchy) keep a foreign key to the donor it originates from.
Raw Data and Calculated Results
When uploading plate reader results, these are stored as plate layers that belong to a resultset. The resultset in turn has a foreign key to the step it originates from.
Processed results, e.g. quantifications derived from ELISA or MSD. belong to a separate resultset that has the corresponding raw data resultset and a parent.
