A biosample is a name given to the overall grouping of spectra coming from the same biological sample. The definition of a biological sample depends on your individual experiment parameters. A category is a name given to the specific category to which you would place your biosample (for example treated and untreated). If you use the same category name for two different biosamples then the results for the biosamples will be displayed next to each other in Scaffold’s browser. Again, the definition of a category depends on your individual experiment parameters.
