Greiner Bio-One GmbH, internationally leading technology partner for the diagnostic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industry, offers Half Area Microplates, permitting a reduction of up to 50 per cent in the sample volumes in the 96 well microplate-format as compared to heretofore typical values.

For numerous applications in the laboratory the reduction of the sample volumes is an elementary criterion. In pharmaceutical active-substance screening automatised processes using high format microplates with 384 or 1536 wells are usual. But research groups in R&D as well as enterprises active in ELISA-diagnostics frequently use 96 well microplates for manual handling.

The newly developed 96 Well Half Area Microplates from Greiner Bio-One are exactly optimised for these requirements: They are characterised by a standardised layer thickness (1cm = 170 µ, 0.5 cm = 80 µ), they can be quickly and precisely pipetted by hand and they allow a reduction of the sample volume by 50%. As suited to the individual application, laboratories have the choice between black, white, clear and µClear® Microplates in ELISA-, HTS and cell culture quality.
