Functions

Function	Signature	Description
normalize_factor	(value, minimum=1.0)	Coerce a value into a valid dilution factor.
get_sample_dilution	(window, sample_name)	Return the dilution factor stored for a sample on a window.
set_sample_dilution	(window, sample_name, factor)	Store a dilution factor for a sample on a window.
detect_dilution_from_name	(name)	Detect a dilution factor encoded in a sample or file name.
detect_dilution_for_sample	(window, sample_name)	Detect a dilution factor for a sample, preferring its source file name.
has_transport_rate	(window)	Report whether a window has a usable transport rate calibration.
effective_acquisition_time	(window, sample_name, element_key=None)	Return the analyzed acquisition time in seconds for a sample.
effective_volume_ml	(window, sample_name, element_key=None)	Return the analyzed sample volume in millilitres for a sample.
particles_per_ml	(window, sample_name, particle_count, element_key=None, apply_dilution	Return the particle number concentration in particles per millilitre.
