| | The Scientist : Well, Well, Well... Greiner's 1536 Micro Assay Plates |
 | | Unlike it's 384-well sister, though, the 1536 Micro Assay Plate features an optional robotics-friendly low-profile lid since evaporation rates are much quicker in this high density plate; the lid also prevents sample contamination. |
 | | When asked about instrument design catching up to this density format, Knebel commented, "instrumentation is on the market to read the 1536 [plate format]." He added that BMG LabTechnologies, Tecan, and Bio-Rad Laboratories have instrumentation available for reading these plates, and others will be on the market very soon. |
 | | The 1536 Micro Assay Plates are available in a variety of configurations, including transparent polystyrene, white, and fl with standard and low-profile lids. |
