analyte role

OBI

Feb 10, 2009. changes after discussion at OBI Consortium Workshop Feb 2-6, 2009. accepted as core term.

A measurand role borne by a molecular entity or an atom and realized in an analyte assay which achieves the objective to measure the magnitude/concentration/amount of the analyte in the entity bearing evaluant role., Analyte role is a role borne by a molecular entity and realized in an analyte assay which achieves the objective to measure the magnitude/concentration/amount of the analyte in the entity bearing evaluant role, Analyte role is a role borne by a material entity and realized by implementation of an analyte measuring assay with objective to detect the magnitude/concentration/ amount of the analyte in the entity bearing evaluant role.

pH (technically the inverse log of [H+]) may be considered a quality; this remains to be tested., interestingly, an analyte is still an analyte even if it is not detected. for this reason it does not bear a specified input role, qualities such as weight, color are not assayed but measured, so they do not fall into this category.

Glucose in blood (measured in an assay to determine the concentration of glucose).
