Unfortunately, information describing the nanomaterial, including functionalizing entities and three-dimensional (3D) structure, is often represented in an undisciplined fashion. Nanomaterial characterization requires numerous physico-chemical, in-vitro, and in-vivo assays where measurements mostly depend on non-standardized protocols and diverse technology types. The field of nanomedicine faces many challenges in the development of standards to support meaningful data submission and information exchange. For differences between Version 1.3 and 1.2, refer to the ISA-TAB-Nano 1.3 Release Notes. The current version of ISA-TAB-Nano is Version 1.3 (March 2020). An understanding of ISA-TAB is recommended but not required as the ISA-TAB-Nano specification provides descriptive information on ISA-TAB as applied to nanotechnology. Prerequisitesįamiliarity with the fields of nanotechnology and nanomedicine is a prerequisite for this specification. This standard (ISA-TAB-Nano) specifies the format for representing and sharing information about nanomaterials, small molecules and biological specimens along with their assay characterization data (including metadata, and summary data) using spreadsheet or TAB-delimited files. See each File page for more information and links to examples and glossaries.
