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. 9, record 1, English, - microplate

Épreuve Élisa que l'on fait subir aux animaux provenant de pays étrangers avant leur importation au Canada dans le but de déceler la présence d’infections virales et de prévenir la propagation de maladies. Contrairement à la méthode habituelle qui consiste à pratiquer l'immunodosage en phase solide, ce test de laboratoire s’effectue en phase liquide. Il s’agit principalement de «bloquer» l'antigène ou l'anticorps, selon le cas, avant qu'ils ne s’agrippent l'un à l'autre et de déterminer ainsi l'absence ou la présence du virus responsable de la fièvre aphteuse. 1, record 4, French, - %C3%A9preuve%20Elisa%20avec%20blocage%20en%20phase%20liquide
