Estimate geometry surface area of plastic in well plate based on well plate format suggested values from Corning. option.plastic == TRUE (default) give nonzero surface area (sarea, m^2) option.bottom == TRUE (default) includes surface area of the bottom of the well in determining sarea. Optionally include user values for working volume (v_working, m^3) and surface area.
armitage_estimate_sarea(
tcdata = NA,
this.well_number = 384,
this.cell_yield = NA,
this.v_working = NA
)A data table composed of any input data.table tcdata
with only the following columns either created or altered by this function:
| Column Name | Description | Units |
| well_number | number of wells on plate | |
| sarea | surface area | m^2 |
| cell_yield | number of cells | cells |
| v_working | working (filled) volume of each well | uL |
| v_total | total volume of each well | uL |
A data table with well_number corresponding to plate format, optionally include v_working, sarea, option.bottom, and option.plastic
For single value, plate format default is 384, used if is.na(tcdata)==TRUE
For single value, optionally supply cell_yield, otherwise estimated based on well number
For single value, optionally supply working volume, otherwise estimated based on well number (m^3)
