SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Labcyte Inc. today launched a new 1536-well tissue-culture treated microplate for cell-based screening and discovery applications. By enabling cell culture directly in a high-density microplate, this new product expands cell-based assay miniaturization capabilities, such as direct PCR from cell cultures. The exacting rigidity and flatness specifications improve well-to-well reproducibility, resulting in better data while using less reagents for cell-based applications. This 1536-well low-dead-volume microplate is optimized for robotic and automated microplate liquid handling platforms and plate readers.
