Slot: sample collection device (samp_collec_device)

The device used to collect an environmental sample. Recommended values are subclasses of specimen collection device (http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0002814). OBI itself contains only swab/wipe subclasses; environmental sampling devices (corers, grab samplers, passive samplers, etc.) are defined in GENEPIO under the same OBI:0002814 parent. Free-text values are accepted for backward compatibility; new submissions should prefer the form: label [PREFIX:LOCALID].

Comments

  • GENEPIO's subtree of OBI:0002814 includes grouping classes such as GENEPIO:0100941 (grab sampling device), GENEPIO:0100942 (composite sampling device), GENEPIO:0100943 (core sampling device), and GENEPIO:0100948 (passive sampling device).
  • ENVO has no device classes; do not use ENVO terms here.
  • Existing NMDC biosamples populate this slot with free text (e.g., "corer", "Van Dorn"). New submissions are encouraged to use the form: label [PREFIX:LOCALID].
  • Report dimensions and details when applicable
