annotate.plate(
  sample.id,
  sample.prefix,
  sample.suffix,
  num.sample,
  num.std = 8,
  byRow.sample = TRUE,
  byRow.replicates = TRUE,
  replicates.sample = 3,
  replicates.std = 3,
  rows,
  columns,
  std.first = TRUE
)

Arguments

sample.id

character vector to specify the names/ids of the samples on the plate. Note, standard/calibration sample ids/names is fixed to be "s1","s2", etc, which are specified by the software and users don't need to privide.

sample.prefix

characters will be added to the beginning of sample names

sample.suffix

characters will be added to the end of sample names

num.sample

numeric number of samples to write

num.std

numeric number of standards

byRow.sample

boolean indicate whether to write sample names horizontally by row (TURE) or vertically by column (FALSE)

byRow.replicates

boolean indicate whether to write sample replicates horizontally by row (TURE) or vertically by column (FALSE)

replicates.sample

numeric number of replicates for each sample

replicates.std

numeric number of replicates for each standards

rows

numeric vector to specify which rows to be included in the annotation

columns

numeric vector to specify which columns to be included in the annotation

std.first

boolean to indicate whether to write standards first or the samples first.

Details

Based on the input to quickly write the annotations for ELISA plate. The output is in a 96-well format and will be used to giude the reading of OD plates. This way only a nxm dataframe can be used. To write non-regular annotation, you have to do it mannually.

Value

a dataframe holding the annotations for the plate.
