Viscosity of methyl cellulose solutions in RT-DC

This repository contains data files and analysis tools to recreate the plots for Reichel and Büyükurganci 2023. "Effective viscosity of methyl cellulose solutions in phosphate buffered saline in real-time deformability cytometry": https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.01664.

The raw_data folder contains datafiles, which were used for the analysis.

The folder plots contains the figure panels.

imgs contains images that are used for illustration in the notebooks.

To run the notebooks an installation of python>=3.10 is needed.

The requirements.txt and environment.yml contain all dependencies for the notebooks to work and can be installed either with pip or conda. Please create an virtual environment, e.g. with Anaconda's conda create command and run the following commands:

Create a conda virtual environment from the environment.yml by running:

conda env create -f environment.yml

The default environment name will be mc_rheo_py310

Or from the requirements.txt:

# using Conda
conda create --name <env_name> --file requirements.txt

# using pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
