ifcb_volume_analyzed_from_adc: Estimate Volume Analyzed from IFCB ADC File

In iRfcb: Tools for Managing Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) Data

Estimate Volume Analyzed from IFCB ADC File

Description

This function reads an IFCB ADC file to extract sample run time and inhibittime, and returns the associated estimate of sample volume analyzed (in milliliters). The function assumes a standard IFCB configuration with a sample syringe operating at 0.25 mL per minute. For IFCB instruments after 007 and higher (except 008). This is the R equivalent function of IFCB_volume_analyzed_fromADC from the ⁠ifcb-analysis repository⁠ (Sosik and Olson 2007).

Usage

ifcb_volume_analyzed_from_adc(adc_file)

Arguments

adc_file

A character vector specifying the path(s) to one or more .adc files or URLs.

Value

A list containing:

• ml_analyzed: A numeric vector of estimated sample volume analyzed for each ADC file.

• inhibittime: A numeric vector of inhibittime values extracted from ADC files.

• runtime: A numeric vector of runtime values extracted from ADC files.
