Laboratory Equipment Data Parsing System
The Challenge
A startup developing software solutions for testing laboratories needed to integrate data from various lab testing equipment into their web application. Laboratory testing equipment generates data files that needed to be processed and made accessible through the company's software platform.
The core challenge was extracting and parsing data from files generated by different types of lab testing equipment to make this information usable within a web application designed to streamline laboratory operations.
The Strategic Approach
I was contracted to develop a data mining solution that could process files generated by lab testing equipment and prepare the data for integration into the startup's web application platform.
The solution needed to handle the variety of file formats and data structures produced by different laboratory instruments while ensuring the parsed data could be effectively utilized by the web application.
Technical Implementation
The system successfully processed laboratory equipment data files for integration into the web application:
- Data Mining: Used Pandas to extract and parse data from files generated by various lab testing equipment
- File Processing: Developed parsing logic to handle different file formats and data structures from laboratory instruments
- Data Integration: Prepared parsed data for seamless integration into the startup's web application platform
Development Environment
- Pandas
- Python
- Jupyter Notebook
- Visual Studio Code
