MIAPE - Column Chromatography (MIAPE-CC) is one module of the Minimal Information About a Proteomics Experiment (MIAPE) documentation system. MIAPE is developed by the Proteomics Standards Initiative of the Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO-PSI). It aims at delivering a set of technical guidelines representing the minimal information required to report and sufficiently support assessment and interpretation of a proteomics experiment. This MIAPE-CC module is the result of work carried out through the Sample Processing Workgroup of the Proteome Standards Initiative. It has been designed to specify a minimal set of information to document a column chromatography experiment.
