Microtiter Plate Mass Sample Preparation by Ultrasonication

Microtiter plates, multi-well plates, 96-well plates or ELISA plates are used for the mass sample cultivation and processing of biological samples. With the microtiter plate ultrasonicator UIP400MTP, Hielscher offers a unique ultrasonic solution of the uniform and reliable sample preparation of 96-well plates. Common applications of the microtiter ultrasonicator UIP4000MTP include cell lysis, protein extraction, cell homogenization and solubilization as well as DNA fragmentation. Mass Sample Preparation with the Ultrasonicator UIP400MTP

Microtiter plates and 96-well plates are tools for the simultaneously handling and processing a large number of samples. As its name “96-well plate” already indicates, micro-well plates have 96 wells and can hold thereby 96 individual samples. Sample preparation before analysis, e.g. before cell-based assays (such as ELISA or PCR) requires cell lysis, cell disruption as well as protein extraction and releasing other targeted intracellular molecules. Ultrasonic cell lysis and extraction is a long-time and well established method of high-quality sample preparation. Ultrasonic cell lysis and protein extraction is performed in accordance to protocols and gives thereby repeatable and reliable results. The mass-sample ultrasonicator UIP400MTP is a 400 watts powerful ultrasonic system that couples the ultrasonic waves indirectly through the walls of the multi-well plates into the sample medium. Each of the 96 sample wells is sonicated with the exactly same ultrasonic intensity resulting in superior cell lysis and extraction yields.
