armitage_estimate_sarea: Estimate well surface area

In httk: High-Throughput Toxicokinetics

Estimate well surface area

Description

Estimate geometry surface area of plastic in well plate based on well plate format suggested values from Corning. option.plastic == TRUE (default) give nonzero surface area (sarea, m^2) option.bottom == TRUE (default) includes surface area of the bottom of the well in determining sarea. Optionally include user values for working volume (v_working, m^3) and surface area.

Usage

armitage_estimate_sarea(
  tcdata = NA,
  this.well_number = 384,
  this.cell_yield = NA,
  this.v_working = NA
)

Arguments

tcdata	A data table with well_number corresponding to plate format, optionally include v_working, sarea, option.bottom, and option.plastic
this.well_number	For single value, plate format default is 384, used if is.na(tcdata)==TRUE
this.cell_yield	For single value, optionally supply cell_yield, otherwise estimated based on well number
this.v_working	For single value, optionally supply working volume, otherwise estimated based on well number (m^3)

Value

A data table composed of any input data.table tcdata with only the following columns either created or altered by this function:

Column Name	Description	Units
well_number	number of wells on plate
sarea	surface area	m^2
cell_yield	number of cells	cells
v_working	working (filled) volume of each well	uL
v_total	total volume of each well	uL
