DropArray™ Plates

For ELISA & Cell

DropArray™ plates are now available in 96 and 384 “well” formats. Following standard SBS format, both plates are compatible with existing imagers and dispensers.

HT200

The DropArray™ Accelerator HT200 is a fully automated washing instrument that can be easily integrated into existing liquid handling systems, and is compatible with traditional plate formats used in imagers and dispensers. Therefore, the HT200 allows the complete automation of handling DropArray™ plates in high-throughput screening environment. In a typical work process, the HT200 receives a plate from the plate handler, performs unique, gentle DropArray™ washing, and transfers the plate to the handler. This process of washing is coordinated by the control computer of an automated screening system.

The HT200 works with the DropArray™ 96 and 384 plate and is applicable to academic research centers and pharmaceutical and biotech companies for:
• High Content Screening
• RNAi screening
• Immunostaining with suspension or semi-adherent cells
• Antibody & biomarker screening
• High throughput screening
• ELISA assays

The HT200 represents a new standard of liquid handling that allows gentle washing of plates, resulting in minimal cell loss even when handling suspension and semi-adherent cells and improved experimental data.

Specifications for DropArray™ Accelerator HT200:
Operating Voltage/Hz: 100-240 V (manual select), 50/60 Hz
Max Power Requirement: 75 W
Physical size: 50 cm x 40 cm x 40 cm
Weight: 25 kg

LT200
DropArray™ Accelerator LT200

The DropArray™ Accelerator LT200 is a bench-top liquid washing instrument that automates DropArray™ wash process. The LT200 works similarly to the fully automated HT200 except the capability of the integration into a screening system. The instrument is suitable for the users in research labs performing ELISA and cell assays in low-throughput. In a typical work process, the LT200 receives a plate in a plate holder and performs automated washing by pre-programmed condition upon one touch of operation. Without any precision nozzles in the instrument, the usual troubles observed in a conventional washer are prevented. The LT200 works with DropArray™ plates, currently available in 96- and 384-"well" format.

Specifications for DropArray™ Accelerator LT200:
Operating Voltage/Hz: 100–240 V (manual select), 50/60 Hz
Max Power Requirement: 75 W
Physical size: 46 cm x 44 cm x 33 cm
Weight: 14 kg

DropArray™ ELISA Plate

The DropArray™ plate follows standard SBS microplate format. The DropArray™ 96 and 384 plate carries 96 and 384 "wells" on the plate in the same manner as a corresponding conventional microplate. The surface of the plates are patterned with hydrophobic perfluorocarbon film, exposing an array of pre-treated plastic surfaces. These plastic surfaces act similarly to those of conventional ELISA plates. A "well" on DropArray™ plate accepts typically 2µl of reagents and samples per well.

Conventional Microtiter Plate Reader Compatibility
The DropArray™ plates can be easily read by conventional microplate readers that can read fluorescence signals. The DropArray™ plates to be read by absorbance reader is under development and are expected to be available soon.

DropArray™ Cell Plate

The DropArray™ plate follows standard SBS microplate format. The DropArray™ 96 and 384 plate carries 96 and 384 "wells" on the plate in the same manner as a corresponding conventional microplate. The DropArray™ Cell plates are available in two different slides: glass slide and transparent plastic slide. The glass-based plate is for those high-resolution imaging applications that require more than 20x objective lends. The plastic-based plate is for those applications that need up to 20x objective lens. The Cell plates of a glass or plastic slide come with different surface coatings for different cell types. For example, poly-D-lyine coating is required for the assays with suspension or semi-adherent cells in order to improve the adhesion. A customized coating for a DropArray™ Cell plate is available upon request. A "well" on DropArray™ plate accepts typically 2µl of reagents and samples per well.

Sterile Unit-packing
Each plate is sterile and individually packed.
