The phrase "a specific sample to" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a particular example or instance that is intended for a certain purpose or analysis.
Example: "In our research, we need to collect a specific sample to ensure the accuracy of our results."
Alternatives: "a particular sample for" or "a defined sample to".
Specimen entities are different in that the annotations are actually the set of images (called Cell Hit annotations) associated with a specific sample added to the entity when the specimen entity was created.
The development of the customProDB package was mainly driven by two demands: (i) to provide a customized protein database from RNA-Seq data for a specific sample, and (ii) to provide a consensus database from a pool of genetically similar samples.
Generally, scales which are fitted to a specific sample are not guaranteed to maintain their properties in another sample.
Each hospitalization is assigned a specific sample weight used to estimate national rates.
After the sequencing run, the actual DNA molecules that belonged to a specific sample could then be distinguished from those belonging to other samples by sorting the index sequences attached to the DNA molecules.
Knowing the concentration of the isotope for a specific sample enabled the researchers to determine when it had first been exposed.
In such a situation, they must be able to associate each data instance to a specific sample.
Another relevant question is: How good is the model for a specific sample whose properties we wish to predict?
Today's clinical scientist needs to be prepared to not only collect and validate their raw gene-and protein- data and to safe keep the stored samples, but also to establish and maintain a legal administration for documenting the position of every individual sample in the biobank by a process that de-identifies the actual personal information linked to a specific sample.
Although germplasm diversity can also be revealed based on sequencing of a single pooled sample, an advantage of using a 2D (or higher order) pooling scheme, is that a subset of identified SNPs and haplotypes can be attributed to a specific sample, or at least a subset of rows and columns / pool coordinates, while sample preparation costs are only marginally higher.
