Publication at Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové |

Abstract

Microplates are routinely used in Radio- or Immuno-assays. Recently, microplates have found use not only in analytical but also in the pre-analytical phase in bioanalyses (sample storage, sample preparation).

New connection of this technology to liquid chromatography could be economical, fast and simple solution for many routine laboratories handling large sequences of biological samples. This review summarises the application of microplates in bioanalytical laboratories.

Different types of sorbents, materials and shapes of microplates are discussed, and the main advantages and disadvantages of microplates used in clinical research are presented.
