What is a Lab result file?

A lab result file is an XML file contains all the lab results. The results are mapped tot their analyses samples. A lab result will be matched to the corresponding analyses sample based on the: “Labassignment Guid/SIKB-ID, projectCode, AnalysisSample Guid/SIKB-ID”

What to exchange to bind the results to the correct sample?

The data stream ‘Lab Result’ is the feedback of analysis results on the requested lab assignment at a laboratory. At import we need to bind it onto the correct sample.

This requires importand field to match the samples in the xml to the samples in our database.

Important fields:

EntityFixed valueRemark
ProjectlokaalID (GUID)As submitted in the Lab assignment XML
 projectCodeAs submitted in the Lab assignment XML
LabassignmentlokaalID (GUID)As submitted in the Lab assignment XML
Sample (analysis sample)lokaalID (GUID)As submitted in the Lab assignment XML, if assignment in SIKB<11, but results in >=11; fill with old BISNR/IDANLMONS.
 NameAs submitted in the Lab assignment XML
Sample (field sample)

lokaalID (GUID)

Only if this entity is included, which is optional.

Remarks:

  • The entity ‘Analysis Result’ does not yet have a fixed lokaalID (GUID), connected laboratories cannot yet guarantee that a unique ID will be generated.
  • For Asbestos and Asphalt, new samples are also created at the Lab, which are therefore fed back with a reference to the sample from which they are derived.
  • There is still a desire to feedback from a lab whether an analysis sample has been modified at the lab in terms of sub-samples. For example, if a jar has broken and been replaced with another jar. This has not yet been included in current practices.

Importing the data will be done based on the following steps:

  • Search Project with Project.lokaalID (as placed in the Lab assignment XML).
  • Search Project with Project.ProjectCode (as placed in the Lab assignment XML) if searching on Project.LokaalID yields no results.
  • Search Project and Lab assignment with Labassignment.LokaalID (as placed in the Lab assignment XML) if the Project has not yet been found.
  • Search Project (if Project not yet found) and Analysis Sample with Sample.LokaalID as GUID (as placed in the Lab assignment XML, version 11 and higher).
  • Search Project (if Project not yet found) and Analysis Sample with Sample.LokaalID as BISNR (as placed in the Lab assignment XML, versions lower than 11, 'old' idanlmons/BISNR).
  • Search Analysis Sample with Sample.Name within the project, if the Analysis Sample has not been found but the project has.

What can be imported?

  • If an Analysis Sample is found, the Analysis Results are always updated or added.
  • If Project is found, but the analysis sample is not; then this analysis sample is imported as a new analysis sample with all results.
  • (If it concerns water samples, a new fictional/temporary measuring point and filter could be created.)

SIKB 14 Parameter result combinations

In the SIKB0101 version 14 exchange of labresults is combination needed for exchanging the result parameters of the Lab analysis.
It's based on PhysicalProperty, the combination of Quantity, Parameter and Condition.
