To meet the growing demand for the development of biomedicines and biotechnologies, a system that is highly effective and efficient is needed. Cell-based assays, especially for drug discovery, require precise measurements of fluid volume. To obtain a reliable and meaningful result, procedures must be standardized. The C.BIRD and S.NEST systems are high-throughput microbioreactors that standardize and automate early-stage cell screening. Each system is associated with its own functional lid and specific tubes for different types of microplates. However, we have found that manual opening of the lid by different testers results in different amounts and sizes of residual droplets, which contributes to unreliable data.
In this application note, we demonstrate how the EZHold effectively minimizes droplets and prevents liquid from remaining on functional lids.
