You can use a Union query, for example:

INSERT INTO NewTable (Source, Plate)
SELECT Source, Plate FROM
  (SELECT Source, Plate1 As Plate FROM Table
   UNION ALL 
   SELECT Source, Plate2 As Plate FROM Table
   UNION ALL 
   SELECT Source, Plate3 As Plate FROM Table
   UNION ALL 
   SELECT Source, Plate4 As Plate FROM Table) As t

EDIT: the Union part by itself:

   SELECT Source, Plate1 As Plate FROM Table
   UNION ALL 
   SELECT Source, Plate2 As Plate FROM Table
   UNION ALL 
   SELECT Source, Plate3 As Plate FROM Table
   UNION ALL 
   SELECT Source, Plate4 As Plate FROM Table

Or

 SELECT Source, Plate FROM 
  (SELECT Source, Plate1 As Plate FROM Table
   UNION ALL 
   SELECT Source, Plate2 As Plate FROM Table
   UNION ALL 
   SELECT Source, Plate3 As Plate FROM Table
   UNION ALL 
   SELECT Source, Plate4 As Plate FROM Table) As s
