A multi-well container for room temperature
storage of blood, DNA, and clones. Each GenPlate
meets the SBS standards and has the following
dimensions: 5.030’ length x 3.365” width x 0.397”
height (half the height of a typical 384 multi-well
plate)
There are 384 wells per GenPlate. Each well is
equivalent to an experiment-sized aliquot
Each well contains a 6mm disc of FTA paper
Each disc in the well will hold 10 ml of blood, DNA,
or crude bacterial suspension (clones)
Each plate is sealed using a foil top-seal and clear
plastic bottom-seal
GenPlates are formatted into “Regions (R)”:
1R = 384 aliquots of a single biosample per plate
3R = 3 unique samples/plate; 96 aliquots/sample
6R = 6 unique samples/plate; 40 aliquots/sample
12R = 12 unique samples/plate; 16 aliquots/sample
24R = 24 unique samples/plate; 4 aliquots/sample
GenPlates are manufactured in two varieties:
(1) GenPlates for whole blood & clones
(2) GenPlates for purified gDNA & pDNA
Each plate contains a 14-digit barcode which
specifies plate type, region configuration,
GenCode, and unique plate number
