96 WELL HALF AREA MICROPLATES

Reduce Sample Volumes. Increase Efficiency. Keep Your Workflow Simple.

Half Area Microplates are the ideal solution for laboratories looking to embrace assay miniaturization without switching to high‑density plate formats. Designed in a familiar 96 well layout, they enable up to 50% reduction in sample and reagent volumes while maintaining the convenience of manual pipetting and compatibility with standard laboratory equipment. This makes them a powerful alternative for ELISA and cell‑based assays where efficiency, cost control, and data quality matter most.

Assay Miniaturization Made Easy

Assay miniaturization has become a key driver in modern high‑throughput screening, helping laboratories do more with less. Smaller assay volumes translate directly into lower reagent consumption, reduced costs, and better use of precious samples - all without compromising assay performance or information content.

While moving to the 384 well format can be effective, many labs hesitate due to increased automation requirements and workflow complexity. 96 Well Half Area Microplates bridge this gap: they offer the benefits of miniaturization in a format that fits seamlessly into existing workflows.

Key benefits of assay miniaturization with Half Area Microplates include:

  • Significant savings on costly reagents and samples
  • Improved cost per data point and assay scalability
  • Reduced cell and reagent demand for sensitive or scarce materials
  • Faster assay turnaround with unchanged handling routines
