FC and plates per species or not #8

Open hariszaf opened 4 months ago

When having flow cytometry (FC) then currently we build the excel file of the raw data so the user adds FC data per-species. But this is not always the case and people may just have a number of cells in total.

Contrary, for the case of plates, currently we assume that it's always in total while in some cases one may have per-species.

I suggest we split these cases in two in the techniques and we build the excel accordingly.

@hallucigenia-sparsa would that make sense?

I agree. Usually, FC data will only give the total count and not distinguish between species, but on plates (Petri dishes), colony-forming units of different species can often be distinguished. So yes, it's a good idea to separate the two cases.

Ok, great! We'll fix that accordingly.
