Home > Press > Dolomite enables experiments with nanoscale volumes: Mitos Wellplate for small-scale reagent droplets or cells

Abstract:
Dolomite, a world leader in microfluidic design and manufacture, 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 0.26 nl to enable experiments to occur using nanoscale volumes.

Dolomite enables experiments with nanoscale volumes: Mitos Wellplate for small-scale reagent droplets or cells

Royston, UK | Posted on September 17th, 2009

Covering a small area of 10 x 10 mm, the array of wells is designed to fit onto a microscope slide and under a standard coverslip. The wet etching process provides a surface roughness of <5 nm, enabling easy access for microscopy systems. Furthermore, with a depth of 2 mm, the wellplate provides excellent 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 customized 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.
