microplate

A microplate is a flat, rectangular tray with multiple small wells or holes, typically 96, 384, or 1536, used in laboratories for experiments. It allows scientists to perform many tests simultaneously, such as chemical reactions, biological assays, or sample analysis, with small amounts of liquids. Microplates streamline testing processes, save time, and facilitate high-throughput data collection, making them essential tools in fields like medicine, biotechnology, and research.
