AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing high-throughput biological screening methods do not allow for the recovery of biological samples without inactivating or damaging them, limiting the ability to analyze and isolate samples of interest.

Method used

A collection plate with an optically transparent bottom layer and interlocking features, compatible with microcapillary arrays, enables sample ejection, transfer, and imaging, allowing for the recovery of samples using a laser beam and centrifugation.

Benefits of technology

Enables clear imaging and efficient sample capture and transfer from microcapillary arrays to a compatible collection plate, facilitating further analysis without sample damage.

Abstract

A collection plate is described that can be used for collecting sample from a high-throughput analysis system including a microcapillary array and transferring to a second plate, such as an analysis plate suited for subsequent analysis. The collection plate may include a plurality of wells, each well including a bottom surface adapted to allow imaging from an objective to the microcapillary array. A collection plate may include a top surface between the wells configured to interlock with a top surface between a plurality of wells in the second plate.
