Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) All data on each experiment in the Riffyn SDE is extracted and flattened into a statistical data-frame compatible with nearly any modern analysis software (including R, JMP, SAS, Tableau, Minitab, etc.). This data-frame is composed of all variables defined on a Riffyn SDE process or experiment, including sample identifiers, parameter settings, start/stop times, dates, measurement data and units. The variables are presented as columns in the data-frame and grouped by step in the process. Multiple experiments executed on that same process (regardless of version) are stacked together such that data are aligned into common columns. If versions of a process diverge, gaps are left in the table where such variables are missing in the process. ( b ) Individual process data tables can be further combined into a “Master Process” data table composed of all data from all linked processes used in performing an experiment, including material preparation, equipment set-up, fermentation, and analytical chemistry processes. Data from these processes are joined together using the material flow graph defined by the Master Process in the Riffyn SDE, and the material identifiers automatically tracked by the Riffyn SDE.
Article Snippet: To evaluate the ability of the Riffyn SDE software to capture and communicate complex protocols, record diverse data types, and enable data analysis, sharing, and reusability, we applied it to a study to quantify the aerobic growth characteristics of the industrially relevant yeast Ogataea polymorpha ( syn.
