Abstract
An enhanced microplate can include a base having a footprint with a length of 5 127.76 mm±1 mm and a width of 85.48 mm±1 mm. The base can be configured for an array of microwells having a base being configured for an array of micro wells such that there are ax rows along the width and ∥bx∥ columns along the length, where a is 8 or 9, b is 12, 13 or 14 provided that when b is 12, a is 9, and x is 0.5 or a positive integer. These enhanced microplates can be used to effectively increase throughput, decrease analysis time, and can be readily integrated into existing systems.
