= OpenSpecimen HowTo Create Protocol

Tags: [[OpenSpecimen]] [[HowTo]]

== Overview

1. Enter the protocol details into the '''Create Protocol''' screen.
  - Only 1 PI can be entered, but many operatives.
  - The PPID is not the study ID, for that we use the Patient Master Index ID, but a lab ID.
2. Enter One or more '''Events'''
  - '''Events''' contain a list of '''specimens''' that are collected
  - From '''specimens''' can be derived '''Derivatives''', that are a substances that are created from a '''specimen''' by some process, for example centrifuging.
  - '''Specimens''' are then divided into one or more '''aliquots'''
  - '''Aliquots''' may then be processed again to produce further '''derivatives''', for example DNA, which may be subsequently divided into further '''aliquots'''.
