PCR Lab Data

This dataset comprises an extensive collection of process logs for laboratory SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests between December 2022 and July 2023. The dataset has been created through https://cpee.org and is utilizing the YAML file format based on the XES standard.

The dataset follows a hierarchical process structure (see processhierarchie.pdf). 

Dataset Contents:

Lab Plain Instance: The plain instance embodies the core mechanism for governing the behavior of the process instances, meaning it acts as the managing process. This initial instance is responsible for supervising subsequent process instances and establishes the framework for administering and coordinating complex processes. The plain instance spawns the following subprocesses: New Well Plate, Delete Well Plate, and Finish Well Plate.

Delete Well Plate: Gets triggered when a well plate is canceled, leading to the termination of the corresponding 96-well plate instance along with all associated sample instances.

New Well Plate: Generates new instances of 96-well plates.

Finish Well Plate: Dispatches a message event to the corresponding 96-well plate instance upon completion of pipetting.

96-Well Plate: Represents the physical well plate and is responsible for initiating the sample flow subprocess for each contained sample.

Sample Flow: Individual sample records, each tagged with unique identifiers, linked to specific wellplates.

The index.txt provides an overview of the hierarchically organized process instances by including unique identifiers of lab instances, well plates, and samples.

The dataset has been anonymized so that no conclusions about specific samples or persons (subjects, lab workers) can be derived. The CT values have been shifted and rounded, so that values slightly differ, still pointing at the result, but cannot be correlated to real results.
