Abstract
Cost pressure and rising throughput requirements are important drivers for assay miniaturization. Typical examples for the trend “smaller is better” are found in BioChip applications and in High Throughput Screening (HTS), which is evolving from the 96-well standard to high-density microplates with 384, 864, 1536 or more wells. These applications require the automated pipetting of liquids in the submicroliter volume range, a difficult task for traditional automated liquid handling systems based on syringe pumps.Keywords
