openSMAPPjs

My little SMAPP should be based on javascript and work without a backend server. The backend is only used to persist data and send it to the lab.

It should be possible to use the app as is - without the backend side.

For this data is stored in the local-storage of the browser.

Sample Preparation Protocol

  • settling time (default 15 s)
  • dilution (main default 1:5 and bacterial default 1:500)
  • sample Volume (1 mL)
  • shaking time (30x shakes in 30s)

Microscope Camera Setup

  • width / height of FoV [um]
  • objective magnification (default 40x)
  • eypiece Number
  • size of slide width x height

Sample Intake Form

  • type (compost)
  • place
  • date + time of taking the sample
  • notes (when was the last rain event)

Sample Preparation

After the microscope and the preparation protocol is defined we can start taking in samples.

Sample Preparation

  • dilution (main 1:5)
  • shaking time (30x shakes in 30s)
  • settling time (15 s)

Slide Preparation

  • size of slide
  • sample size [uL]

Sample Analysis

The analysis consists of a Nematode scan the main assessment for protozoa and filamentous organisms and a bacteria count.

Nematode Scan

Take multiple pictures of each Nematode and calssify to functional group. Bacterial- / Fungal- / Rootfeeding and Predatory Nematodes.

Main Assessment

Take multiple pictures per FoV and count all organisms in the FoV. Mark them and store the picture and list of organisms.

  • as many as needed pictures per FoV.
  • 5 or more FoV per reading.
  • 5 or more readings.

Bacterial Count

For the bacterial count another dilution is used. Then bacteria are counted.

Results Page

From the different parts of the analysis the F:B ratio is calculated and Number of Protozoa / Fungal and Bacterial Biomass per mL of soil is calculated.
