Read and tidy a SPECTRAmax file

Usage

read_spectramax(path, date = Sys.Date(), wavelengths = NULL)

Arguments

path: Path to the SPECTRAmax .txt file
date: Date of experiment. If not supplied, uses current date.
wavelengths: What wavelengths were read in this experiment?

Value

A list, with the following form:

data: a tibble that contains two columns - the type, and the (tidy) data itself in a list-column.
raw_data: a raw representation of the file, before tidying
date: character. The date of the experiment
experiment_type: character. The type of experiment (currently only pq (Protein Quantification) and mtt supported)
tidy: logical. Should always return TRUE if read in using read_spectramax

Details

SPECTRAmax files cannot be read in easily without tidying them simultaneously, due to their non-rectangular structure. Therefore, tidying is required to be read in and is not an option supplied.
