Element container-type
- Type: container-type
The detailed representation of a container type.
The container type describes the physical characteristics of a class of containers such as
the number of wells in the container as well as describing the coordinate system used for identifying
those wells.
The container type is described using a rectangular coordinate system. The
characteristics of the horizontal axis are described by the x-dimension element, and the characteristics
of the vertical dimension are described by the y-dimension child elements. The characteristics of
each dimension included both the size in that dimension as well as the identification method for
values in that dimension. Values can be identified either numerically where 0 is the first item or
alphabetically where A is the first element. Additionally an offset can be specified which shifts the
value of the first element by a fixed amount. When a well location is represented using the coordinate
system, it is shown as Y-Value:X-Value (for example A:1).
The following are examples of the coordinate system:
- Y-Dimension: alphabetic, size 1, offset 0. X-Dimension: numeric, size 1, offset 0. Size: 1. Valid value: A:0
- Y-Dimension: alphabetic, size 12, offset 0. X-Dimension: numeric, size 8, offset 0. Size: 96. Valid values: A:0 ... L:7
- Y-Dimension: alphabetic, size 8, offset 0. X-Dimension: numeric, size 12, offset 1. Size: 96. Valid values: A:1 ... H:12
The container type also identifies wells in the container that are not available for storing samples or reagents, either because the configuration of the container requires those wells to be empty for the instrument configuration or because the well contains specific calibrants that are required by the instrument. The well location of the unavailable wells is specified using the coordinate system that is described by the x-dimension and y-dimension of the container type.
Note: calibrant-well is no longer supported and will be ignored if provided.

Element container-types
- Type: container-types
The representation for a list of container type links.
The system enforces a maximum number of elements when generating the list of links. When the size of
the request result set is larger than the system maximum, the list represents a paged view of the overall
results, and the previous-page and next-page elements provide URIs linking to the previous or next page
of links in the overall results.
