It is a miniaturised version of the microtiter and nanotiter plates that are standard tools in analytical research. Picotiter plates are used in the DNA sequencing strategy first exploited by a spin-off company (454 Life Sciences) and commercially available on the market.
Picotiter plates represent a scaled-down variant of the microtiter and nanotiter plates commonly employed in analytical research. This technology is based on the DNA sequencing approach initially developed by a spin-off company (454 Life Sciences) and now widely offered on the market.
