Echo state

Objects of this class represent the state of an Echo machine loaded with a source and a destination plate, and with its transducer at a given position.

Usage

# S4 method for Echo
as.character(x)

# S4 method for Echo
show(object)

Arguments

x

An Echo object.

object

An Echo object.

Details

The model of the echo machine determines the resolution of the liquid transfers: 2.5 nL increments for the “555” and 25 nL increments for the “525”.

Slots

source

A source Plate.

destination

A destination Plate.

transducer

A Transducer state.

model

The model of the Echo machine.

log

A log of the transfers

Examples

plate <- Plate( type       =   "384"
              , deadVolume =  10000
              , maxVolume  = 100000)

transducer <- Transducer( source      = Well("A01")
                        , destination = Well("A01", plateFormat = "96"))

echo <- Echo( source      = plate
            , destination = plate
            , transducer  = transducer
            , model       = "525")
