Isotope Enabled #49

Open oscarbranson opened 5 years ago

oscarbranson commented 5 years ago

Calibration currently does everything by element name - mass information is stripped out when matching analyte names to SRM rows. This makes it impossible to calibrate individual isotopes. It would be nice to be able to work with individual isotopes, if values are present in the SRM databse.

This should be relatively easy to implement. When matching analytes to SRM compositions, it should perform a 'first pass' match, where it attempts to match all analytes against row names in the SRM table, where isotopes are identified as [mass][name] (e.g. 23Na).

To Do

oscarbranson commented 5 years ago

Changes to calibration functions required to implement this have been made. Needs testing with isotopic data.

60 brought the capability to specify different denominator elements for different analytes, which is a major step towards this goal.
