     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.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     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.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     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.
