Artel MVS® As A Tool For Measuring Liquid Mixing Efficacy In Verification Plates

By Tanya Knaide, Rachel Parshley, Matt Wilkinson PhD MBA, Artel

For assay results to be truly trustworthy, every part of the methodology employed needs to be assessed for efficacy and repeatability. Learn how the Artel MVS® Multichannel Verification System can be used as a tool for measuring the efficacy of liquid mixing protocols.

In addition, the data presented herein highlights the importance of ensuring that effective mixing of the solutions dispensed into a microplate has occurred during every step of the assay procedure. This is particularly poignant as experiments conducted within the Artel laboratory show that diffusion‐based mixing can take as long as 24 hours, and even a plate shaker set at 2200 RPM can take close to 10 minutes to achieve complete mixing if the shaker protocol has not been optimized.
