Definition

material entity that is the specified output of a material sampling process

Semi-Formal Definition:

every instance of β€˜material sample’ is exactly an instance of β€˜material entity’ that β€˜is specified output of’ some β€˜material sampling process’

Examples

  • a 10 mL portion of bioreactor culture collected during mid-log phase for cell-viability analysis; a portion of harvested supernatant contained in a labeled vial and taken from a chromatography pool for impurity testing; a powder portion taken from the middle of an API drum for composition-uniformity testing; a tablet selected from a production batch during compression for hardness testing
