“Fill & Flip” Microplate Bead Loader Set transfers, in one manual motion, 0.3 or 1 ml of beads into a 96-, deep well microplate. A stainless steel frame aligns a pair of 96-well microplates, one pre-loaded to the top with beads (the “measuring” plate). Upon manual inversion of the paired plates, the beads fall into the second, larger capacity 96-well microplate (the “receiving” plate). Suitable for bead sizes from 0.1 mm diameter to 6 mm diameter. the “Flip & Fill” Bead Loader handles irregular, sharp particle media as well as spherical media.
How it works..
1) Using the provided bead loading tray, pour the beads out of its bottle into a 96-well microplate (the ‘measuring’ microplate) Level the beads with the spatula until all wells are filled to the top with beads.
2) Place a selected tight fitting, stainless steel frame over the loaded ‘measuring’ microplate.
3) Insert into the frame, up-side-down, a larger capacity 96-well “receiving” microplate. The upper surfaces of the two plates contact each other.
4) Transfer the beads by manually inverting the pair of microplates.
