Description

melt8Well Converts a Tecan ArrayPro data file to a data.table with properly labeled columns.

Usage

1
melt8Well(DT, swap = TRUE)

Arguments

DT

a data.table with columns of population intensity values in columns named by barcode, well, wavelength and data type(Raw/Net/Background)

swap

a logical on whether the data for the A and B rows should be swapped. This must be yes for 8 well data coming from the Array Pro software.

Value

A data.table in long format with columns of intensity readings for #' each data type and wavelength, barcode and well.

Usage

This function reformats Array Pro results files that come from analyzing images from multiple channels, wells and plates. The column names are encoded as follows: Datatype is at the beginning of the column name as Raw, Net or Background. Barcode follows the curly brace symbol. Wavelength follows the - symbol after the barcode. Well follows the - symbol after the wavelength. The A and B well labels are swapped to align the Tecan labeling to the actual well names.
