Bring the power of DropBot microfluidics into the standard workflows of your laboratory with the DropBot Well Plate Extender. Designed in the ubiquitous 96-well plate footprint, it integrates seamlessly with common lab instruments such as plate readers, microscopes, and robotic handlers. This makes it easier than ever to scale up assays, automate workflows, and bridge DropBot technology with existing lab infrastructure.
Equipped with two durable, braided 60 cm cables and a robust pogo-pin interface, the Well Plate Extender ensures reliable performance while maintaining full DropBot 3.0 compatibility. Its optimized openings allow unobstructed access for both upright and inverted microscopy, while the all-aluminum construction provides rigidity and long-lasting durability. With the Well Plate Extender, you can effortlessly expand where and how you run your DropBot experiments.
How do the DropBot Extender and DropBot Well Plate Extender differ?
The DropBot Extender:
