DropPlate16/96

The Trinean DropPlate16/96 chip was designed for use with the DropSense96. A single DropPlate chip contains 16 input reservoirs for sample storage and fixed dual pathlength measurement structures. For high-throughput testing or testing in an automated workflow, assembly of 6 DropPlates on a frame will generate a 96-well microfluidic plate with dimensions identical to those of a standard 96-well plate (SBS standard), assuring compatibility with liquid handling robots. For manual use, 1 to 6 DropPlates can be used on the frame creating a flexible set-up for the measurement of 1 to 96 samples simultaneously. Moreover, the DropPlates can be reused until all input reservoirs have been filled.

Once a DropPlate16/96 chip is inserted into the DropSense96, a dual pathlength measurement is performed (0.2mm and 1.0mm), thus generating a large concentration measurement range. The microfluidic chip provides steady measuring conditions due to fixed pathlengths and elimination of solvent evaporation, leading to enhanced reproducibility.

The unique features of the DropPlate16/96 are:

• 0 5-2 5 µl samples
• 16 to 96 sample disposabletechnology
• Compatible with liquid handling robots
• No sample evaporation
• Dynamic range: 2-3 500 ng/µl dsDNA
• No sample dilution needed
