Benefits of DropArray™ Platform

Miniaturization of assays requiring amaximum of 2 – 3 µl of sample per "well"

DropArray™ platform gives researchers the ability to perform assays on limited precious samples with greater ease and accuracy.

Ability to work with semi-adherent and suspension cells in a convenient
HTS format

The DropArray™ platform allows for handling of semi-adherent and suspension cells working in HTS in the exactly same manner as adherent cells with minimal cell loss.

Reduced cell requirement for immunoassays

Biological samples are often precious (e.g. differentiated stem cells). DropArray™ allows for the use of around only 500 - 700 cells per data point compared to around 3000 - 10,000 cells per data point on a conventional microplate.

Improved accuracy of results

The automation of the wash step to a single whole plate wash minimizes human error and machine error brought by 'well-by-well' washing, improving the reproducibility and quality of the experimental results.

Improved efficiency in performing assays

The miniaturization of samples and reagents on DropArray™ plates reduces the time taken to reach reaction equilibrium, enabling reduction of incubation times by as much as 75%.

Compatible with existing screening systems

The DropArray™ platform is completely compatible with the SBS-96 and 384 microplate well formats (with 1536-well format available soon), allowing the DropArray™ plates to be used with conventional microplate imagers and dispensers. Furthermore, the whole DropArray™ platform is easily integrated into existing liquid handling systems.

Low cost and low maintenance

Due to the reduced sample and reagent volumes required, DropArray™ platform is able to provide around 75% cost-savings to users. Moreover, the whole system is easy to set up and requires minimal maintenance and training.
