SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires allotropy, pandas, openpyxl, pdfplumber, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the conversion of raw laboratory instrument output files into the standardized Allotrope Simple Model (ASM) JSON format, streamlining data integration into LIMS, data lakes, and downstream analysis pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-format Support: Handles common instrument output files like PDF, CSV, Excel, and TXT.
  • ASM JSON Generation: Produces fully compliant ASM JSON for semantic data standardization.
  • Flattened CSV Output: Creates a 2D tabular CSV for easy import into systems without native JSON support.
  • Parser Code Export: Generates production-ready Python scripts for data engineers to parse proprietary formats.
  • Auto-detection: Intelligently identifies instrument types to select the correct parsing strategy.
  • Use Case: Convert daily cell counter reports into a standardized ASM JSON format for upload to your company's LIMS system, ensuring data consistency and compliance.

Quick Start

Convert the attached file 'cell_count_report.xlsx' to ASM JSON format.
