Description |
Range definitions in time courses |
rangedef |
string |
Defines whether the ranges given below refer to frames or seconds in the recordings |
Baseline Range |
BaselineRange |
string |
Defines the range of the baseline (in the above defined time units). Longer baseline results more accurate calibration. |
VF (mitochondria:cell volume fraction) |
VF |
real |
Confocal stereologic volume fraction of mitochondria (inner boundary membrane) to whole cell (including nucleus) |
VFM (matrix:mitochondrion volume fraction) |
VFM |
real |
EM stereologic volume fraction of matrix to mitochondrion (inner boundary membrane) |
aR` (matrix:cytosol apparent activity coefficient ratio) |
aR |
real |
Apparent activity coefficient ratio measured by confocal microscopy |
MDC Range |
MDCRange |
string |
The range of Mitochondrial Depolarization Cocktail addition (in the above defined time units). This range will be narrowed by differentiation kernel size and delay time. |
MDC Delay (s) |
MDCdelay |
real |
Delay time after starting Mitochondrial Depolarization Cocktail treatment to allow mitochondrial membrane potential to discharge completely (in seconds). |
CDC Range |
CDCRange |
string |
The range of Complete Depolarization Cocktail addition (in the above defined time units). |
Take the minimum of CDC Range |
CDCMin |
boolean |
If set yes, the minimum FLIPR intensity within the CDC Range is taken as zero calibration value (its error is the local SD of the range). Otherwise mean is calculated. |
fT0-fTX Allowed Range |
fT0MinusfTXRange |
string |
Trace selection criterion: the minimum and maximum allowed value of fT0-fTX |
Quality control based on MDC calibrates to zero |
QCMDC |
boolean |
Removes traces where MDC does not calibrate to zero, or noisy. Set threshold below. |
Limit smallest offset from zero during MDC (mV) |
QCMDCdeviation |
real |
Traces where the absolute mean of the last third MDC Range is larger than this number are removed. Zero value disables checking. Applied when "Quality control based on MDC calibrates to zero" is enabled. |
Limit standard deviation during MDC (mV) |
QCMDCSD |
real |
Traces where the SD of the entire MDC Range is larger than this number are removed. Zero value disables checking. Applied when "Quality control based on MDC calibrates to zero" is enabled. |
Quality control by propagated error of baseline |
QCMMPrest |
boolean |
Removes traces where the estimated SE of baseline is greater than the threshold below. Requires error propagation. |
Limit SE of baseline (mV) |
QCMMPrestMaxSE |
real |
Traces where the SE of resting ΔψM parameter is larger than this number are removed. |
Limit baseline instability (SD mV) |
QCMMPbaseStabilitySD |
real |
Traces where the SD calculated for the entire calibrated ΔψM baseline in time is larger than this number are removed. |
kT Allowed Range |
kTRange |
string |
Trace selection criterion: the minimum and maximum allowed value of kT |
Maximum allowed DTE |
DTEMax |
real |
Threshold value to eliminate the early steep part of TMRM decay, where ΔψM may not be fully depolarized. This is a criterion for the exact length of data to be used for regression. |
Range of regression ends at zero DTE |
TruncateRegressionAtZero |
boolean |
Criterion for the exact length of data to be used for regression. |
TMRM r^2 Min |
TMRMr2Min |
real |
Trace selection criterion: the minimum allowed value of r^2 for the TMRM-regression. |
Filter regression points to the straightest section |
FilterRegression |
boolean |
In addition to the above constrains, the most linear middle section of the DTE-FTE diagram is used for regression. Turn off "Range of regression ends at zero DTE" if using this method, and use zero for "MDC Delay (s)". |
Tolerance for straightness |
StraightnessTolerance |
real |
Maximum allowed fold change in derivative where the linear fit is performed. |
Use K-steps instead of CDC to calculate ft0 |
forcezero |
boolean |
Uses TMRM fluorescence and calculated ΔψP corresponding to K-steps to calculate ft0 instead of measuring it in the CDC range. Use this option of measurment of ft0 is problematic for some reason. |
