Mikrotorplaadile

Mikrotorplaadile, often referred to as a microplate, is a flat, thin plastic plate with multiple small wells arranged in a rectangular grid. These plates are widely used in biological research, chemical analysis, and drug discovery. The number of wells can vary, with common formats including 96-well, 384-well, and 1536-well plates.

The primary function of a mikrotorplaadile is to facilitate high-throughput screening and experimentation. Each well can hold a small volume of liquid, allowing for multiple samples or reagents to be tested simultaneously. This miniaturization significantly reduces the consumption of expensive reagents and increases the efficiency of experiments.

The design of mikrotorplaadile allows for easy handling and automation. Robotic systems can precisely dispense liquids into the wells, perform assays, and read results using instruments like spectrophotometers or fluorometers. The materials used for mikrotorplaadile are typically polystyrene or polypropylene, chosen for their inertness and optical properties, depending on the specific application. Different surface treatments can also be applied to the wells to enhance cell adhesion or protein binding. Mikrotorplaadile have become indispensable tools in modern laboratory settings, enabling faster and more cost-effective research.
