Definition

classifier that classifies a population of material entities according to size-related analytical properties relative to a reference material entity

Explanatory Notes

A size variant classifier is a broad parent for classifiers that group material entities by size-related analytical properties. It is intended to support different material domains, including molecular products and particle-based products. More specific subclasses should be used when the size-related terminology, analytical methods, or reference comparisons are domain-specific, such as protein size variants, molecular size variants, aggregate variants, fragment variants, or lipid nanoparticle particle-size variants. The reference material entity is the material entity prescribed by the relevant design specification as the basis for comparison.

Examples

  • a classifier that classifies a group of monoclonal antibody molecules detected as a high molecular weight fraction by size-exclusion chromatography as a size variant relative to a reference monoclonal antibody; a classifier that classifies a group of recombinant protein fragments detected as a low molecular weight fraction by capillary electrophoresis as a size variant relative to a reference recombinant protein; a classifier that classifies a group of antibody-drug conjugate molecules according to size-related analytical properties under a product-specific size variant method;

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

There are insufficient constructs to create necessary and sufficient conditions.

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

SizeVariantClassifier(x) β†’ Classifier(x) ∧ βˆƒs (DesignSpecification(s) ∧ isAbout(x, s) ∧ βˆƒr (MaterialEntity(r) ∧ prescribes(s, r))) ∧ βˆƒg (ObjectAggregate(g) ∧ classifies(x, g))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a β€˜size variant classifier’ then x is a β€˜classifier’ that β€˜is about’ some β€˜design specification’ that β€˜prescribes’ some β€˜material entity’, and x β€˜classifies’ some β€˜object aggregate’
