What are aliquots?
What are aliquots?
- What is the difference between an aliquot and a derivative?
When a sample is divided into smaller portions, which are similar in charac=
teristics like the parent, they are called aliquots. E.g., a 10 ml blood tu=
be is aliquoted into 10x1 ml tubes. They only differ in quantity. Derivativ=
es are processed outcomes of a parent specimen which differ in characterist=
ics like type and pathological status. E.g., DNA, RNA, plasma, etc.
=
- Is aliquot the lowest level of the specimen, and can=E2=80=99t have any=
derived specimen from it?
There are no restrictions. Derivatives can be aliquoted and, aliquots can b=
e further processed.
- If we have a tissue that will have RNA, DNA, and protein from it. =
Then the tissue has to be a derivative or parent specimen, right?
The tissue will be a parent specimen. RNA, DNA, Protein will be derivatives=
of the tissue.
- Can aliquot have different information such as tissue specimen review i=
nformation from their parents?
Yes, additional/different events like tissue specimen review events can be =
added at the child level.
