IMAPlateTM 5RC96 Start Kit provides professionals the world's first miniaturized, high throughput analytical platform that allows to manually perform parallel and simultaneous liquid transfer, analysis, reaction and assay in every ordinary laboratory. It is an easy-to-use, multi-function integrated lab tool that can not only boost productivity but also improve overall cost-effectiveness. The Start Kit contains one adjustable aluminum reader adaptor, one adjustment tool and 5 pieces of IMAPlateTM 5RC96.

The IMAPlateTM 5RC96 is a disposable plastic lab device and can be used as a 96-channel manual pipette for liquid handling, a 96-microcuvette array for UV-VIS-IR spectral analysis and a 96-microwell plate for parallel reactions and assays in labs of pharmaceutical and biotech industries, healthcare facilities, universities and academic institutes. 

The IMAPlateTM 5RC96 comprises 96 identical, funnel-like reaction units positioned according to the standard of 96-well plate format from National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). Each reaction unit contains a 5μl round capillarity reaction chamber, which is able to self-take up and to hold of sample solution for reaction or analysis. The device can be used in conjunction with 96-well plates for high-throughput handling up to 96 individual samples and is compatible with commercial available 96-well plate readers for the measurement.

The IMAPlateTM 5RC96 represents the next generation lab devices and can be used not only as a 96-channel pipette to parallelly transfer tiny amount of sample solution, but also as a 96-micro cuvette array for UV-VIS-IR spectral measurement with a flexible sample number ( 1, 2, ..., 96), sample volume (0.1μl to 5μl) and detection light path (up to 5mm) for DNA, RNA, protein or compound.  In addition, the device especially eases of the miniaturized assay like ELISA requiring many steps of washing. Now, manual high throughput liquid transfer, spectroscopy and assay can eventually be carried out in every lab due to the unique liquid handling concept, the high ratio of surface area to volume design and the distinctive features of the IMAPlateTM 5RC96.                    

Advantages: 

Spectroscopic quantification of sample:

5mm light path requiring only 5μl of sample; full spectrum analysis; up to 96 samples in parallel; automatic sample loading through capillary action (or by pipette with a flexible sample volume from 0.1ul to 5ul); complete sample recovery option; no cross-contamination risk; manual high-throughput performance

Miniaturized ELISA:

5μl reaction volume: saving 95% of sample/regents
High surface to volume ratio: high sensitivity; rapid adsorption process; fast reaching reaction equilibrium; preserving antibody activity; short time to result
Full spectrum analysis: extend detection range
Touch-loading and unloading: up to 96 individual tests in parallel; manual high throughput; accurate, precise and robust
Reduced volume of ELISA protocol: data compatible with 96-well ELISA
