In addition to conventional 96 well plates, that always provide 96 reaction
vessels simultaneously, strip well plates can be printed and used as a variable
platform, too. Using strips of 8 or 12 vessels that can be mounted in a frame that
again has a 96 well footprint enables cost efficient use of this technology, where
not always 96 samples have to be analysed in parallel. Even single breakable strips
are available, that allow any number of up to 96 samples to be analyzed in parallel
