CMC — Critical Micelle Concentration Workflow

This repository hosts data and code for planning, running, and analyzing critical micelle concentration (CMC) experiments, including both single-surfactant and mixed-surfactant studies.

Repository Structure

1) all_data/

All CMC data collected using this workflow:

• Contents: raw data for single CMCs and mixed CMCs.
• Analysis notebooks: a Jupyter notebook that aggregates the data using CMC_helper_function.py for data visualization and summary plots.

2) random_exploration/

Early, exploratory work from the initial workflow development:

• Includes the initial setup on an OTFlex system and some preliminary data analysis.
• Note: this folder is legacy and will be archived.

3) workflow_code/

Code used to control the robot and run experiments, plus planning and records.

• workflows/
  Workflow code executed by the North-Cytation system to run the experiments end-to-end.

• analysis/
  Code used to plan experiments (e.g., selecting conditions, plate layouts, etc.).

• status/
  Physical input state files used by the robot to run experiments.
  Note: not all status files were saved.

• logs/
  Experimental log files from some runs.
  Note: not all logs were saved because this feature was not fully implemented at the start of data gathering.

Notes

• The random_exploration/ directory is kept for provenance and will be archived once its contents are fully superseded by the current workflow.
• For visualizing combined datasets, start with the notebook in all_data/ which relies on CMC_helper_function.py.
