Sub Sample Type
Sub Sample Types allow a parent sample to be broken down into sub items e.g. a parent sample of Tissue could be associated with the sub sample type of Lung or Tumour.
The sub sample type depends on the sample type. If the user selects a sample type which does not have any sub sample types associated with it then nothing will be available for selection. Only if sub sample types are associated with a parent sample type will the options be available.
