platform
The specific version (manufacturer, model, etc.) of a technology that is used to carry out a laboratory or computational experiment. Specify where applicable for experimental data files, else enter ‘none’. In most cases only a single label is expected, however multiple selections can be provided in comma-delimited list where applicable e.g., for 10x Genomics fastq files please specify both the 10x instrument and the sequencing platform.
