MultiScreenHTS plates are specifically developed for high-throughput use with automated work stations. Rigid sidewalls improve handling and ample surfaces are provided for bar code labels. Wells are individually sealed to prevent incubation crosstalk and the underdrain is removable for access to the filters. Filter plates are available in 96- and 384-well platforms with a broad selection of membranes and plastics.

Millipore's new MultiScreen HTS+ Hi flow filter plate design lessens non-specific binding and reduces variability in both background and signal intensities specifically for biochemical screening assays.

The original multiwell design is valuable for many applications which require immersing the filter in an assay tray. The easily removable underdrain and unique plate design are ideal for assays such as Elispot, PAMPA, cell screening (migration, invasion or chemotaxis) or for topcount detection users.

MultiScreen HTS filtration plates are used to filter samples and perform entire procedures, from cell growth to scintillation counting within the same plate. The plates come in many membrane types, pore sizes, and plate materials. The automation-compatible design allows for easy manipulation with a variety of robotics systems and makes barcoding possible on all four sides. Filtration is accomplished either by vacuum using the MultiScreen HTS Vacuum Manifold, or by centrifugation.
