Using proper KCNI naming convention to label projects, participants, experiments, and files is extremely important as data is routed through the Neuroinformatics Platform according to these labels. Please take great case in ensuring data is properly labelled at every level, codes are consistent throughout the project life cycle and typos are avoided. Thank you!

Project ID

Study Participant ID (LabKey Participant IDs)

Note that for LabKey Study Participant IDs, it is highly recommended that the Participant code is fully numeric (rather than alphanumeric). 

Biosample ID (Specimen Label)

Please ensure the BiosampleIDs are entered correctly at all data entry occurrences, as a misspelled labels can have significant consequences throughout the Neuroinformatics Platform system.

Biosample IDs will be created automatically for users entering specimens through the Specimen Entry form. They consist of the following parts:

Ex. ABC01_CMH_00000001_02_BED_01

The Visit Code is 2 integers that represent the visit number. For example, 01 is first baseline visit, 02 is a follow-up visit, etc..

The Specimen Code is the type of the specimen collected from the participant. This is a predefined list from the Biobank and Molecular Core Facility. See the Specimen Code list below.

The Vial Number is 2 integers that represent the vial or aliquot number of the specimen. For example, 01 will always be first vial for the specimen collection, 02 would be second vial from the collection, etc. LabKey allows for a maximum of 10 vials per collection.

When entering specimens, ensure the correct specimen code is entered in the Specimen Entry form and included in the LabKey Biosample ID.
