Dolomite has introduced the Mitos Wellplate for holding small reagent droplets or small groups of cells.
With a 40 x 40 array of nano-litre wells, each standard plate has a well volume of 0.26nl to enable experiments to occur using nanoscale volumes.
Covering a small area of 10mm x 10mm, the array of wells is designed to fit onto a microscope slide and under a standard cover slip.
The wet etching process provides a surface roughness of less than 5nm, enabling easy access for microscopy systems.
With a depth of 2mm, the wellplate provides optical transmission for clear observation of each well.
With the ability to be etched to a range of depths or diameters, as required, each well can be customised to offer alternate volumes and two layers can be used to form more complex geometries.
The surface of the chip is naturally hydrophilic; however, custom coatings are available, which include a hydrophobic, gold or platinum layer that can be applied to the surface of the well.
