  Apparatus with microtiter plate format for multiplexed arraying patent invention   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The conventional microtiter plate format is suitable for multiplexed microarraying but the current designs and apparatus need improvement for full utilization of the microtiter plate.
Microtiter plates, used in many scientific disciplines for assaying, drug discovery, purification, combinatorial chemistry, etc., are generally not suitable for microarraying due to difficulty in applying the wide range of functional coatings used in microarraying to the polymeric microtiter plate.
Due to the well height of the typical microtiter plate and the longer z-axis travel time for well-to-well probe deposition the printing of microarray probes is difficult and time consuming.

Microtiter plates are fetched from cassettes, moved to one of two conveyor belts, and transported to protocol-defined modules.
Plates are moved continuously and automatically through the system as each module simultaneously processes plates in the module lift stations.
The Visual Basic Control program moves the plates through the system based on the predefined protocol and on module status reports as monitored by PLCs.

 Tutorial : Microbial and Cell Growth in Microtiter Plates Genetic Engineering News - Biotechnology from Bench to ...
The most critical aspect of microbial growth in microtiter plates is the closure system of the individual wells, which has to prevent cross-contamination (even during vigorous shaking), permit the exchange of headspace air, and limit evaporation.
The sandwich cover and microtiter plate are clamped together tightly in order to prevent spillage of the culture fluid during high G-force orbital shaking and to ensure that exchange of headspace air occurs solely through the center holes.
A major reason for the use of 24-well plates for pellet-forming microorganisms is to reduce the effect of statistical variations in the number of pellets per well on the concentration of the metabolite.
