Donation of info to Bio-Formats: Bio-Rad Gel 1sc file format

Hi all,

I've been working on a project for a colleague who wants support for *.1sc files created by Bio-Rad Quanitity one software. Bio-Formats calls these "Bio-Rad Gel 1sc file format"

I was very happy to find the Bio-Formats code and get a start understanding the file format. Thanks!
I think I've learned a lot more since my start, and wanted to donate back what I've learned.

I made a Markdown description of what I currently know about the 1sc file format:
https://github.com/itsayellow/biorad1sc ... sc_spec.md

I also am in the process of assembling a python package to read in 1sc files at the repository:
https://github.com/itsayellow/biorad1sc_reader

In that repository is a python3 command-line script called read1sc.py which creates detailed reports (txt files) on any given *.1sc file that is given to it as an argument:
https://github.com/itsayellow/biorad1sc ... read1sc.py

These are still in progress, but are functional right now.

Let me know if you have any questions or anything to add: itsayellow+dev@gmail.com

thanks,
Matt

FYI, the python package is live on pypi for python3. To install it, use:
Code: Select all
pip3 install biorad1sc_reader
