FlexStationData

Tools for reading and analyzing data from the FlexStation microplate reader.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'flex-station-data'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install flex-station-data

To update your installation, use:

$ gem update flex-station-data

To perform a linear regression analysis on the sample data, use the following command:

$ flex-station linear-regression <source file> [--threshold=<threshold>] [--min-r-squared=<minimum R²>]

Where source file is the file that you got from the reader. You can specify multiple source files. The threshold setting is optional. If provided, samples with values that are below the threshold value will be skipped. threshold must be a number.

If a --min-r-squared value is given, samples with a R² value that falls below the threshold will be flagged as "poor fits." If no --min-r-squared is specified, a default of 0.75 will be used.

The output is in CSV format. You'll probably want to save it to a file. You can do that by piping the output to a file:

$ flex-station linear-regression source-data.csv --threshold=300 > linear-regression.csv
