22Jun09. The definition includes whole organisms, and can include a human. The link between specimen role and study subject role has been removed. A specimen taken as part of a case study is not considered to be a population representative, while a specimen taken as representing a population, e.g. person taken from a cohort, blood specimen taken from an animal) would be considered a population representative and would also bear material sample role.
Note: definition is in specimen creation objective which is defined as an objective to obtain and store a material entity for potential use as an input during an investigation.
blood taken from animal: animal continues in study, whereas blood has role specimen.
something taken from study subject, leaves the study and becomes the specimen.
parasite example
- when parasite in people we study people, people are subjects and parasites are specimen
- when parasite extracted, they become subject in the following study
specimen can later be subject.
