Abstract:
1. A microplate in which a plurality of wells that are reaction vessels, in a substantially concave shape, to analyze components of a specimen are arranged in a matrix, the microplate comprising: a first surface comprising first portions of an opening plane of the wells different from second portions of the opening plane which are openings of the wells; a second surface that is directed to an opposite side to the first surface; and a well-identification information indicator that is arranged on the second surface included in a boundary portion between wells next to each other such that the well-identification information indicator is opposite one of said first portions, and that indicates well identification information to identify each of the wells, wherein a distance from said second surface in the boundary portion of the wells where the well-identification information indicator is arranged to the first surface is substantially identical to a depth of the wells which is a distance from the bottom of wells to said first surface.
