Description
Qualify an explicit pathology accession/block pair by its laboratory namespace.
Pathology records connect specimens, blocks, slides, anatomical sites, processing timestamps and report versions. A recorded piece balance differs from verified tissue completeness, while cold-ischemia and fixation intervals describe distinct stages. Metadata and labels do not establish specimen adequacy, diagnosis, safe handling or report validity.
Qualify an explicit pathology accession/block pair by its laboratory namespace.
When to use this tool
Use Pathology Accession Block Token when you already have accessionId, blockId, laboratoryNamespace and need to qualify an explicit pathology accession/block pair by its laboratory namespace.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter accessionId, blockId, laboratoryNamespace. 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 accessionId, blockId, laboratoryNamespace 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 |
|---|---|---|
| accessionId | Accession Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| blockId | Block Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| laboratoryNamespace | Laboratory Namespace | 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. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The record preserves supplied identifiers, wording and provenance; it does not authenticate the source, resolve an identifier, retrieve evidence or verify the asserted relationship.
- 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
Reconcile original accession, cassette, block and slide records when tracing a specimen. Review the full processing timeline and controlled report history for adequacy and version questions; a local count residual or displayed amendment label does not verify them.
