Microtiter plate well identifiers

Quickly generate identifiers (with optional prefixes) for 96 and 384 well plates.

Usage

microplate(plates = 1L, wells = 96L, controls = 0L, prefix = NULL)

Arguments

plates

integer(1). Number of plates.

wells

integer(1). Number of wells (96, 384).

controls

integer(1). Number of control wells.

prefix

character(1) or NULL. Plate name prefix.

Value

character. Well identifiers.

Details

These plate formats are frequently used for high-throughput screening assays.

Examples

## Single 96-well plate.
x <- microplate(wells = 96L)
print(head(x))
#> [1] "1-A01" "1-A02" "1-A03" "1-A04" "1-A05" "1-A06"

## 2 96-well plates.
x <- microplate(plates = 2L, wells = 96L)
print(head(x))
#> [1] "1-A01" "1-A02" "1-A03" "1-A04" "1-A05" "1-A06"

## Single 384-well plate.
x <- microplate(wells = 384L)
print(head(x))
#> [1] "1-A01" "1-A02" "1-A03" "1-A04" "1-A05" "1-A06"

## 2 96-well plates with 6 control wells per plate.
x <- microplate(plates = 2L, wells = 96L, controls = 6L)
print(head(x))
#> [1] "1-A07" "1-A08" "1-A09" "1-A10" "1-A11" "1-A12"
