English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Research Equipment

CONT

Microplate washers are laboratory instruments designed to control the procedure of washing experimental samples arranged in plate-based formats. Users load a plate and select a program; microplate washers then dispense, soak and aspirate liquids from the plate in seconds.

Key term(s)

DEF

A flat plate with multiple wells used as small test tubes.

CONT

Assays of biochemical systems are carried out on a large scale in both industry and academia, so it is desirable to have an apparatus that allows these assays to be performed in a convenient and inexpensive fashion. Because they are relatively easy to handle and low in cost, microplates are often used for such studies. Microplates typically consist of a plurality of individual wells formed of polymeric materials. Each well includes sidewalls and a bottom so that an aliquot of a sample may be placed within each well. The wells may be arranged in relatively close proximity in a matrix pattern, allowing samples to be studied individually or as a group. Common sizes for microplates include matrices having dimensions of 4x6 (24 wells) or 8x12 (96 wells), although larger microplates are also used that may include matrices of hundreds or even thousands of wells.

PHR

96-well, allergen-coated microtitration plate.

PHR

Microplate holder, reader.

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Research Equipment
CONT

Microplate readers are designed to scan, analyze and obtain numerical results from chemical reactions conducted in microplates. Microplate readers include devices for use in multi-detection, absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence measuring applications. Microplate readers also include microplate scanners or readers for analyzing microarrays and cell arrays. Microplate readers are configured for slides, Petri dishes, cuvettes, well-scanning assays, and other specialty laboratory plates.

CONT

[L'entreprise] propose principalement trois lecteurs de microplaques […] destinés à répondre avant tout aux spécifications des méthodes ELISA, mais aussi aux lectures en cinétique, agglutination, cytotoxicité, dosage de protéines ou à toute autre application en colorimétrie sur plaque et ce, aussi bien dans les laboratoires de recherche et de contrôle que pour les analyses de routine.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
CONT

After hydrolysis of the template RNA, the cDNA is detected by a sandwich hybridization assay(Enzyme-Linked Oligonucleotide Sorbent Assay, or ELOSA). The sandwich consists of a biotinylated capture probe, the cDNA, and an HRP-conjugated detector probe. The sandwich is bound via the biotin to a streptavidin-coated microplate well, and is detected by adding a substrate for HRP. Although all steps may be performed manually, the ELOSA system is fully compatible with automated ELISA(Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) plate washers and readers.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
  • Biologie moléculaire
CONT

L'ARN ribosomal cible est reconnu par deux sondes spécifiques : une sonde de capture qui permet la fixation du duplex ARN/ADN sur un «stick» et une sonde de détection enzymatique pour mettre en évidence ce duplex, par addition d'un substrat chromogène.

OBS

Détection des bactéries pathogènes alimentaires.
