Impact: a framework for analyzing microbial physiology

Impact assists scientists and engineers to interpret data describing microbial physiology. Impact parses raw data from common equipment such as chromatography (HPLC), and plate readers. Data is automatically interpreted and built into hierarchical objects which describe the experiments and extract features.
