MEASUREMENT METHODS - ANNOTATIONS

The Clinical Measurement Ontology (CMO), Measurement Methods Ontology (MMO), and Experimental Condition Ontology (XCO) are currently being developed at the Rat Genome Database. For more information about these vocabularies please see Shimoyama et al. Three ontologies to define phenotype measurement data. Front Genet. 2012;3:87.

Definition:A solid phase colorimetric assay to detect very low levels of albumin, the major blood plasma protein which is responsible for much of the plasma colloidal osmotic pressure and serves as a transport protein for large organic anions such as fatty acids and bilirubin, in a specified sample of urine, in which a strip of paper, or of plastic with one or more attached pads of paper, impregnated with a reagent that reacts with albumin is dipped into the urine sample, allowed to react for a specified period of time and then the results are assessed by a visual comparison with a standard chromatic/color scale.
