Abstract:
An apparatus for high throughput centrifugal parallel plate to membrane transfer of liquid contained within a plurality of wells of a multi-well plate to a membrane, the apparatus comprising:the multi-well plate, the wells having a closed bottom and a sufficiently small volume such that the liquid contained in the wells does not flow from the wells when the multi-well plate is placed in an inverted position;the membrane having a first side coextensive in area with and adjacent to the large plurality of wells of the multi-well plate and a second side;a first compression plate disposed adjacent to the multi-well plate;a second compression plate disposed adjacent the second side of the membrane; anda clamping mechanism for clamping the first compression plate, the multi-well plate, the membrane, and the second compression plate in a multi-layer sandwich.
