Description
Build an explicit assay replicate-parent key.
Biotechnology records distinguish sample and run identifiers, assay observations, replicate positions and quantity bases. Row-major indexing needs an explicit origin, and a wet-to-dry mass factor is the inverse of a dry-mass fraction. Supplied labels and scalar ratios do not validate an assay, establish identity or demonstrate biological performance.
Build an explicit assay replicate-parent key.
When to use this tool
Use Assay Replicate Parent Child Label when you already have assayId, parentSampleId, replicateId and need to build an explicit assay replicate-parent key.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter assayId, parentSampleId, replicateId. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter assayId, parentSampleId, replicateId using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| assayId | Assay Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| parentSampleId | Parent Sample Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| replicateId | Replicate Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

"input": {
"assayId": "A17",
"parentSampleId": "S2",
"replicateId": "REP3"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"A17\",\"S2\",\"REP3\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without inferring sample lineage. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review original sample, instrument and assay records with the full calibration and experimental method. Check units, index conventions and source provenance before combining local results into an interpretation.
