Technical Information About BRANDplates Standard Microplates ANSI- /SLAS – Standard 1 to 4 – 2004 BRANDplates® microplates are manufactured according to the ANSI-/SLAS-Standards 1 to 4 – 2004, to ensure compatibility for all processes, especially when automation is involved. For some automated systems, knowledge of the exact dimensions of the microplates are required. The information contained […]
The Origin Of Microplate Standards
Microplate Standards The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Society of Biomolecular Screening (SBS) now named the Society For Laboratory Automation And Screening (SLAS) approved a standard for microplates in 2004. In 1995, as early as the first meeting of the SBS, a need for clearly defined dimensional standards of a microplate were identified. The […]
The History Of The Microplate
The First Microplate The well plate or microplate was created in 1951 by Hungarian physician, scientist, and inventor Dr. Gyula Takátsy, who hand-machined 6 rows of 12 “wells” out of Poly(methyl methacrylate (PMMA) or more commonly know by its trade name as Lucite. PMMA was developed in 1928 in various labs by multiple chemists and became commercially […]
