Origin View

MSD has an origin explorer to help finding the origin of the samples and their MSD ID. This ID is called ORID and contains information about origin of the samples at three levels: Organ, Localization, and Material. You can find the ORID of ther sample origin by going to Overview tab -> Origins sub-tab. Searching keywords belonging to one of the aforementioned levels will output a list of origins with their corresponding ORID from which you can choose the origin which describes your sample’s origin the best.
