Gram Negative Pink Decolorized Classifier
Decode actual caller pink stain-pattern observation with explicit valid controls; not image detection, cell-wall assay, organism identity or clinical diagnosis.
Description
Gram Negative Pink Decolorized Classifier: return observation class, species identified.
A pink Gram-stain observation and a valid control result describe different aspects of a laboratory record. The pattern can be classified without identifying an organism.
This tool returns observation class, species identified. Use the stated units and model convention when interpreting these fields.
When to use this tool
Use this tool when the supplied inputs match the specific operation described above and you need a repeatable result under its stated convention.
- Check the supported input and output contract against an existing calculation or observation.
- Use the complete example to confirm units, selector spelling and result interpretation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter every field in the input table using the stated units and the exact supported selector spelling where applicable.
- Run the tool. Correct input errors before interpreting an output.
- Read the result fields below; use accompanying flags and the stated sign, boundary or model convention when interpreting a number.
For valid controls, pink returns Gram-negative staining pattern and other returns target pattern not observed. Unknown observations or invalid controls return uninterpretable.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| observedStainPattern | Observed stain pattern. | Exact value: "pink", "other", "unknown" |
| controlsValid | Whether the caller has independently established that the experimental controls are valid. | true or false |
| Output field | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| result | Object containing the following named result fields. |
| result.observationClass | Classification of the supplied observation and control flag under the stated mapping. |
| result.speciesIdentified | Always false; the observation does not identify a species. |

"input": {
"observedStainPattern": "pink",
"controlsValid": true
},
"output": {
"result": {
"observationClass": "Gram-negative staining pattern",
"speciesIdentified": false
}
}
} Limitations and assumptions
- The result does not establish species identity, viability or the cause of the observed color.
- Every declared field is required and unexpected fields are rejected. Numeric inputs must be finite; input errors are distinct from a valid false result or an explicitly qualified output.
- Extremely large inputs and nonfinite or excessively large outputs are rejected. List positions reported by the tool use zero-based indices unless stated otherwise.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check the underlying observations, units and conventions independently before using the result in a larger workflow. The tools listed below address nearby tasks; compare their inputs and scope before substituting one for this operation.
