The Wellplate Chip has a 40x40 array of nano-litre wells. On the standard plate each well has a volume of 0.26nl, and customisation offers alternative volumes. The 40x40 array covers an area of 10x10mm and is designed to fit onto a microscope slide and under a standard cover slip. The wet etching process gives a surface roughness of < 5nm enabling optical access. Applications include: holding small droplets of reagents, groups of cells or reagent droplets and display technology.

Features and benefits:

• Enables experiments with nanoscale volumes
• Excellent optical transmission
• Custom sizes available
• Extremely smooth surfaces
• Custom surface coatings available
• Compatible with the Resealable Chip Interface (Part Nos. 3000305/306)

The Embryo Immobilisation Chip is designed for the immobilisation and imaging of a large number of small (up to 150µm diameter) non-adherent samples, such as embryos or cell aggregates. Samples can be transferred with a micro-pipette into well chambers that are open to the medium and have a bottom thickness that corresponds to a standard optical cover slip, allowing confocal imaging. The specific design of the well chambers keeps samples in place throughout imaging and during mounting/dismounting from the microscope. 

The Embryo Immobilisation Chip Interface is used in combination with Embryo Immobilisation Chip (Part No. 3200208) for the immobilisation and imaging of a large number of small (up to 150µm diameter) non-adherent samples, such as embryos or cell aggregates. The Embryo Immobilisation Chip Interface is compatible with microscope stage inserts for standard 35mm petri-dishes.
