distribSamples: Distribute replicated samples randomly across a 96-well plate

In mdjbru-R-packages/plate96: Functions related to 96-well plates in the biology lab

Description

Distribute replicated samples randomly across a 96-well plate

Usage

distribSamples(samples, replicates = 3, wells = NULL, blockLength = NULL,
  palette = "Set2", alpha.f = 0.5)

Arguments

samples	Vector of string containing the sample names
replicates	Integer, number of replicate to generate for each sample name
wells	Optional, vector containing the wells to be used, for example generated using rectWells(). If NULL, uses the whole plate. If blockLength is used, this has no effect.
blockLength	Optional, can be either 2, 4 or 8. If given, tries to optimize distribution for use with multichannel pipette using sample blocks of length blockLength

Value

Data frame with the plate plan

Examples

samples = c("c0", "c1", "c2", "c3", "c4", "c5", "c6", "w", "DNase+", "DNase-",
            "EGTA-", "incub90", "incub75", "incub60", "dil2", "dil4", "dil8",
            "dil16", "dil32", "toto1", "toto2", "toto3", "toto4", "a1", "a2",
            "a3", "a4", "a5", "b1", "b2", "b3", "b4")
d = distribSamples(samples, replicates = 3, blockLength = 4, palette = "Pastel1",
                   alpha.f = 1)
savePlan(d, "toto.pdf")
