The phrase "a specimen type" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, research, or classification where different categories or kinds of specimens are being discussed.
Example: "In our study, we collected a specimen type that had not been previously documented in the region."
Alternatives: "a type of specimen" or "a category of specimen".
Using a cohesive zone framework, this paper demonstrates how to effectively predict the R-curve for a specimen type whose deformation is shear-dominated (compact tension, CT) from the R-curve of a specimen type whose deformation is bending-dominated (double cantilever beam, DCB).
Although the name had priority due to its early publication date, it was rejected as a nomen ambiguum because of a lack of supporting evidence to identify the fungus, including a specimen, type locality, and incomplete collection notes.
We used a consensus standard to assess sensitivity: a patient was considered a true-positive (TP) for a given virus if any specimen type or testing method yielded a positive result.
A positive case was defined as the presence of any viral pathogen detected in any specimen type of a given patient.
As the RNA yield in whole blood far exceeds that of plasma, we explored in this study if maternal whole blood might represent a better specimen type for the detection of fetal specific placenta-derived mRNA.
Consistent with standards for targeted ordinal representatives, as much information as possible should be collected for all specimens in order to effectively link phenotypes of a particular specimen "type" to its genome (see Lodging of vouchers below).
It is also observed that flexural specimens (Type C) were able to dissipate higher seismic energy than that obtained from Indian Standard based full ductile specimen (Type A).
Moreover, VLPs are a good alternative specimen type for assay training and proficiency testing purposes.
A novel test specimen type has been developed to generate engineering data on bonded aluminium surfaces.
The use of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) may overcome differences in sensitivity for respiratory viruses as a result of specimen type [ 7].
For example, The Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Synoptic worksheet contains a category labeled "Specimen Type" and under this category are multiple Synoptic Values that can be selected to indicate the type of specimen that was submitted for evaluation.
