annotate.plate: S3 method to annotate ELISA plate

In ELISAtools: ELISA Data Analysis with Batch Correction

Description

to write annotations for an ELISA plate as an input to guide the functions to read OD values

Usage

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.
