Label	Id	Description
nucleic acid sequencer	OBI_0001108	[An device that is used to determine the order of nucleotides in nucleic acid sequences.]
history of metastatic cancer exclusion criterion	OBI_0002430	[An exclusion criterion defined as whether an individual has ever been diagnosed with metastatic cancer (cancer that spread beyond the initial site such as to other organs like brain bone or liver), which if met, makes the individual unsuitable for a given task or participation in a given process.]
intravenous drug use exclusion criterion	OBI_0002431	[An exclusion criterion defined as when an individual has a history of intravenous drug abuse for a specific timeframe, which if met, makes the individual unsuitable for a given task or participation in a given process.]
microcentrifuge	OBI_0001100	[A type of centrifuge that is designed for small tubes (0.2 ml to 2.0 ml), has a compact design, and has a small footprint.]
bead array reader	OBI_0001109	[A device that is used to acquire and image bead array data.]
methidiumpropyl-EDTA-iron(II) footprinting assay	OBI_0002443	[A footprinting assay that determines protein-binding sites on DNA by partial cleavage of ligand-protected DNA restriction fragments with methidium-propyl-EDTA (MPE). MPE-Fe(II) in the presence of oxygen efficiently catalyzes the non-specific clevage of DNA.]
autoclave	OBI_0001112	[A device that is used to sterilize equipment and supplies by subjecting them to high pressure steam at 121 C or more, typically for 15 to 20 minutes depending on the size of the load and the contents.]
sterilization function	OBI_0000946	[a function to remove viable organisms from an input material]
microplate washer	OBI_0001113	[A device that is used to wash immunoassays in microwell strips and plates with professional accuracy. WHAT IS PROFESSIONAL ACCURACY??]
transcription start site mapping by primer extension assay	OBI_0002445	[A transcription profiling assay in which the transcription start site for a gene is determined by identifying the 5' end of mRNA. A radio-labeled primer is annealed to a complementary mRNA sequence near the 3' end, then cDNA is synthesized until the 5' end is reached.]
proteomic profiling design	OBI_0002446	[A study design in which proteins in a sample are detected, quantified or otherwise analysed.]
ELISA microplate washer	OBI_0001115	[A microplate washer that is used for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).]
suppression subtractive hybridization	OBI_0002447	[An artificially induced nucleic acid hybridization that is performed to compare gene expression in different cell or tissue types based on normalization and suppression, which creates a subtracted cDNA or genomic DNA library.]
vacuum manifold	OBI_0001116	[A device that is used for the vacuum-driven processing of multiwell strips or plates, or spin columns. IS THIS AN INSTRUMENT? IS THE DEFINTION CORRECT - TO DISTRIBUTE PRESSURE EVENLY.]
differential screening hybridization	OBI_0002448	[An artificially induced nucleic acid hybridization that is performed to identify differentially expressed genes through hybridization of cDNA probes.]
DNA extraction/purification instrument	OBI_0001117	[A device that is used to isolate and collect DNA for subsequent molecular analysis.]
cell harvester	OBI_0001119	[A device that is used to harvest cells from microplates and deposit samples on a filter mat. NOT AN INSTRUMENT?]
physical examination of individual	OBI_0002441	[An assay that produces a description of the qualities of an entity that has not been transformed, through observation and physical, non-invasive techniques.]
real-time PCR machine	OBI_0001110	[An PCR instrument that enables both detection and quantification of one or more specific sequences in a DNA sample.]
PCR instrument	OBI_0000989	[A device that is used to amplify a single or few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence.]
