read.plates: Read the ELISA OD files

In ELISAtools: ELISA Data Analysis with Batch Correction

Description

Read the ELISA OD file to parse the ODs.

Usage

read.plates(
  fileName,
  annotations,
  num.plate = 1,
  batchID,
  expID,
  date = NA_character_
)

Arguments

fileName	characters containing file name of OD data
annotations	list of data containing annotations of the plates
num.plate	numeric number of OD plates in the OD file.
batchID	characters specify the batchID read from the design file
expID	characters specify the expID or plateID read from the design file
date	characters the date running the ELISA exps.

Details

The input is a text file imported from the sdf file. The file may contain multiple plates of OD. We will parse each file section and then read them according to the annotation to load the data. We assume for each file the data are for the same batch and experiment. If otherwise, please split the file into different ones.

Value

an object of elisa_run holding data and annotations for one or multiple plates.

Examples

#get example annotation file path from the system folder
ann<-system.file("extdata", "annote.txt", package="ELISAtools")
std.conc<-system.file("extdata", "stdConc.txt", package="ELISAtools")

#read them in and there are 2 plates.
annotations<-read.annotations(annotation=ann,  std.conc=std.conc, num.plate=2)

#now start reading the OD plate file
fileName <-system.file("extdata", "Assay_3_and_4.txt", package="ELISAtools")
plates<-read.plates(fileName, annotations=annotations, num.plate=2, batchID="b1", expID="e1")
