Leif, Ph.D. at rleif@rleif.com This schema describes analytes for histo and cytochemistry The first 2 elements of Analyte_Info_Type replace Long Name FCS_Keyword $PnS This is loosly based on the LOINC CellMark Class database COMPONENT field (150 characters), which “consists of three subpartsof which only the first, the principal name (e.g. the name of the analyte or the measurement) is relevant. This can be expressed as three parameters: Binding_Species, Binding_Species_Name, and the Tag_Name. Although these could fit the total space limitation by forcing a 64 character limit for their sum, my experiance is that this would decrease readability.
