Liquid Handling Plate

A liquid handling plate is typically used in laboratories for efficiently managing, transferring, and processing liquids in small volumes. It's ideal for tasks like sample preparation, chemical mixing, or conducting assays in scientific, medical, and research settings.

Yes, most liquid handling plates are designed to be compatible with standard lab equipment, including automated liquid handlers, pipettes, and plate readers. Check if your specific equipment model has any unique requirements for compatibility.

The compatibility with chemicals depends on the plate’s material. Plates made from polypropylene or other durable materials generally offer good resistance to most chemicals. Confirm the material specifications to ensure suitability for your intended application.

Liquid handling plates are available in both reusable and disposable forms. Reusable plates are typically made from robust materials that can withstand sterilization, while disposable ones are more suited for single-use applications to avoid cross-contamination.

The volume capacity per well can vary based on the plate’s design, typically ranging from 100 microliters to several milliliters. This information is important to ensure that it meets your liquid handling needs.

Yes, liquid handling plates are often used in high-throughput screening applications, especially those with a high number of wells, like 96, 384, or 1536-well plates, allowing for efficient processing of multiple samples simultaneously.

Many liquid handling plates are designed to work with both manual pipetting and automated systems, making them versatile for a range of workflows. Always confirm if specific handling requirements apply.

Yes, liquid handling plates are often designed to handle very low volumes accurately, essential for applications where precise liquid handling in microliter quantities is necessary.

Typically, liquid handling plates should be stored in a clean, dry environment to avoid contamination. For sterile or pre-treated plates, storage in sealed packaging until use is recommended to maintain sterility.
