Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A well plate, comprising:
a frame section that defines a plane and comprises:
a planar portion; and
a set of ridge portions coupled with the planar portion, the set of ridge portions extending beyond the plane defined by the planar portion having a ridge portion diameter, each of the ridge portions having the same ridge portion diameter from the planar portion to the top of the ridge portion;
a plurality of well structures coupled by the planar portion, each well structure extending in a direction away from the plane defined by the frame section, and each well structure defining a well for holding a fluid, the well structure comprises:
a first section having a first section diameter, the first section diameter is the same as the ridge portion diameter;
a second section having a second section diameter that is narrower than the first section diameter, the second section not having a conical shape;
a boundary region between the first section and the second section, the boundary region being curvilinear to improve the accuracy of fluid height measurement in the well structure; and
an artifact connected to at least one well structure, the artifact uniquely identifying a type of the well plate among other types of well plates.
