| 5 | | 1. The name of an extra material sample/extract does not have to follow any strict name convention, except:[[BR]]a. The name must not start with letters "`ML`", since this is reserved for samples/extracts in the MeLuDI project.[[BR]]b. The input name may consist of English letters, numbers, hyphens "`-`" and underscores "`_`". It must contain at least one letter. |
| | 5 | 1. The original (input) name of an extra material sample/extract does not have to follow any strict name convention, except:[[BR]]a. The name must not start with letters "`ML`", since this is reserved for samples/extracts in the MeLuDI project.[[BR]]b. The input name may consist of English letters, numbers, hyphens "`-`" and underscores "`_`". It must contain at least one letter. |
| | 6 | 2. An extra material input item is assumed to be of one of the types `Specimen`, `DNA`, or `RNA`. |
| | 7 | 3. No case item will be defined for an extra material item, but the input name will have the same function as the case name for an item in the MeLuDI project. The program will add a suffix to the input name of the extra material. The suffix for a specimen will be a dot "`.`" plus a number, starting with "`1`"; for a DNA item it will be "`.d`"; and for an RNA item it will be "`.r`". |
| | 8 | 4. Only one DNA and one RNA item is allowed for an input name of extra material. In addition, a number of specimens are allowed for an input name, even if a DNA and/or RNA item is registered for it. (The latter is not allowed for items in the MeLuDI project.) |
| | 9 | 5. No tracking of plate positions will be performed for extra material items. |
