Loads CT values from the results file produced by a real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) machine.

Usage

load_qPCR_results(
  file,
  expName = NA,
  machine = c(NA, "VIA", "QS5"),
  format = "Excel",
  skip = 43,
  n_max = 384
)

load_qPCR_meltcurve(
  file,
  expName = NA,
  machine = c(NA, "VIA", "QS5"),
  format = "Excel",
  skip = 42
)

load_qPCR_raw(
  file,
  expName = NA,
  machine = c(NA, "VIA", "QS5"),
  format = "Excel",
  skip = 42,
  cycles = 40
)

Arguments

file

Path to the file to open.

expName

The name of the experiment.

machine

The type of the machine that produced the results file.

format

The format of the file. At the moment only Excel is supported.

skip

The number of lines to skip before reading the data.

n_max

The number of lines to read.

cycles

The number of PCR cycles.

Value

Returns a tibble::tibble() object reporting well coordinates, CT value and melting temperature as computed by the machine, and optionally the name of the experiment.

Note

This function needs the readxl package.
