A nanotiter plate is a flat plate with multiple wells used as small test tubes. It is a miniaturised version of the microtiter plates that are standard tools in analytical research. Due to the extremely low amounts of liquids 0.1 - 10 nl and reagents, the methods to work with nanotiterplates are completely different compared to the methods used for microtiter plates. Nanotiter plates reduce the amount of reagents, require lower sample volumes and increase the numbers of tests that can be performed in the lab.
