Large scale genomics spurred the development of massively parallel methods of automated DNA purification and sequencing. These methods started with the 1962 development of a 96-well microtiter plate for miniature-scale serology studies. This simple laboratory device has since been greatly modified and extended to include numerous specialty multiwell plates contructed and/or coated with different materials for various purposes. The original 96-well (8×12 matrix) has expanded to include 384-well and higher densities. More recently, functionality and versatility have been greatly augmented by the incorporation of a filter, or thin membrane, into the bottom of the well. These multiwell microfilter plates can thus be employed in a flow-through mode, in addition to the familiar “put in” and “take out” pipetting and rinsing steps associated with traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) microtiter plate methods…
