Accession ID
2015-07-13
Definition: This field contains accession identifier(s) associated with the specimen. In many cases, applications involved in the collection, transportation or testing of the specimen will assign their own accession identifiers. This field allows communication of these accession identifiers.
An accession id may or may not, depending up laboratory practice, identify a single specimen. Best practice is to use accession identifiers that are globally unique (typically ID Number + Assigning Facility components). However, an accession id may or may not, depending up laboratory practice, identify a single specimen. In addition, accession ids are commonly re-used over time, so the accession id may not uniquely identify a specimen.
