The microdiluteR package is designed to help researchers tidy up data from photometer plates and provides functions to easily add metadata, regardless of whether the user is processing a single plate or multiple plates with complex metadata structures. This package was developed with a special focus on the analysis of broth microdilution assays. A detailed tutorial can be found here.
You can install the development version of microdiluteR from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools") # if not installed already
devtools::install_github("silvia-eckert/microdiluteR")You can load microdiluteR as follows:
Let’s try out the main function tidy_plates() with example data:
data(bma)
bma[1] # file name is bma_grp1_exp2_T0
#> $bma_grp1_exp2_T0
#> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

attr(bma, "metadata")
#> plate_axis treatment concentration
#> 1 A 10% 100 ppm
#> 2 B 10% 200 ppm
#> 3 C 30% 100 ppm
#> 4 D 30% 200 ppm
#> 5 E 100% 100 ppm
#> 6 F 100% 200 ppm
#> 7 G Control 100 ppm
#> 8 H Control 200 ppmLet’s add the metadata and create a tidy data frame for further processing:
tidy_data <- tidy_plates(bma[1],
how_many = "single",
direction = "horizontal",
validity_method = "threshold",
threshold = 0.355, # values above this are set as invalid
group_ID = "Group 1", # optional
experiment_name = "Experiment A", # optional
treatment_labels = rep(c("10%", "30%", "100%", "Control"), each = 2),
concentration_levels = rep(c(100,200), times = 4))
# Let's rename some columns for convenience
names(tidy_data)[names(tidy_data) == 'Position'] <- 'Pos'
names(tidy_data)[names(tidy_data) == 'Value'] <- 'Val'
names(tidy_data)[names(tidy_data) == 'Treatment'] <- 'Treat'
names(tidy_data)[names(tidy_data) == 'Concentration'] <- 'Conc'
names(tidy_data)[names(tidy_data) == 'Timepoint'] <- 'TP'This is the resulting table:
tidy_data
