getLibraryPlate {cellHTS} | R Documentation

## 384-well plate assay format to a 96-well plate library format

### Description

Given a `cellHTS` object with data from an assay conducted in 384-well plate format, resulting from the combination of four consecutive 96-well plates of a reagent library, this function gives the plate identifiers for the 96-well plates.

### Usage

    getLibraryPlate(x)

### Arguments

`x` | a `cellHTS` object.

### Details

The `cellHTS` object `x` contains data from a screening experiment where every set of four consecutive 96-well plates was combined into a 384-well plate. Therefore, the only available plate identifiers are for the assay plate format (384-well plates). The way the four 96-well plates are transferred to a 384-well plate during an experiment is as follows: the robot stars by transferring the samples from the first 96-well plate into the first quadrant of the 384-well plate, and so on.

### Value

An S3 object of class `cellHTS`, which extends the argument `x` by the following element:

`libPlate` | a vector of length equal to the total number of wells of all the 384-well plates, containing a number that identifies the 96-well plate. It ranges from 1 to four times the total number of 384-well plates.
