Create a blank plate template as a tibble (with helper functions for common plate sizes)

For more help, examples and explanations, see the plate setup vignette: vignette("platesetup_vignette", package = "tidyqpcr")

Usage

create_blank_plate(well_row = LETTERS[1:16], well_col = 1:24)

create_blank_plate_96well()

create_blank_plate_1536well(
  well_row = make_row_names_lc1536(),
  well_col = 1:48
)

Arguments

well_row

Vector of Row labels, usually LETTERS

well_col

Vector of Column labels, usually numbers

Value

tibble (data frame) with columns well_row, well_col, well. This contains all pairwise combinations of well_row and well_col, as well as individual well names. Both well_row and well_col are coerced to factors (even if well_col is supplied as numbers), to ensure order is consistent.

However, well is a character vector as that is the default behaviour of "unite", and display order doesn't matter.

Default value describes a full 384-well plate.

Functions

• create_blank_plate_96well: create blank 96-well plate

• create_blank_plate_1536well: create blank 1536-well plate
