Miniaturized microtiter plate for HT-screening

Abstract

The invention relates to a miniaturized microtiter plate which has a body made of plastic and a base made of glass, 1000 to 4000 vessels (wells) ( 3 ), and a cover ( 4 ) which prevents evaporation. The diameter of the vessels (wells) (d) is approximately 1.0 to 1.8 mm. The base of the microtiter plate ( 2 ) has a layer thickness ranging from 0.07 to 0.2 mm and the distance of the outermost vessels (wells) from the edge of the glass base ranges from 4 to 11 mm.

1 . A miniaturized microtiter plate which has a body made of plastic and a base made of glass, and has 1000 to 4000 vessels (wells) ( 3 ), the diameter of the vessels (wells) (d) is 1.0 to 1.8 mm, the base of the microtiter plate ( 2 ) has a thickness of 0.07-0.2 mm, the distance between the center of the outer vessels (wells) and the edge of the glass base is 4 to 11 mm, and the microtiter plate has a lid ( 4 ) to prevent evaporation.  
     
     
         2 . A miniaturized microtiter plate as claimed in  claim 1 , which has 1400 to 2500 vessels (wells), the diameter of the vessels is 1.2 to 1.5 mm, and the base of the microtiter plate has a thickness of 0.12 to 0.17 mm.  
     
     
         3 . A miniaturized microtiter plate as claimed in  claim 1  and/or  2 , which has 1536 vessels (wells).  
     
     
         4 . A miniaturized microtiter plate as claimed in  claims 1  to  3 , wherein the base of the microtiter plate has a thickness of 0.15 mm.
