Thermo Scientific™ μDrop™ and μDrop Duo Plates
Description
Thermo Scientific™ μDrop™ and μDrop™ Duo Plates are ideal tools for quick and easy photometric low-volume (2–10 μl) concentration measurements of DNA, RNA, protein samples, or spectral scanning. The low volume area is designed to be used with 8-channel pipette for fast and accurate multiple sample pipetting. The plates also contain a separate area for cuvette measurement. μDrop Plates are compatible with Thermo Scientific Varioskan™ LUX, Multiskan™ Sky and Multiskan SkyHigh microplate readers. The intuitive Thermo Scientific SkanIt™ software and Multiskan SkyHigh user interface offer ready-made measurement protocols for quick sample measurement and analysis.
- dsDNA detection range from a few micrograms to a few milligrams per milliliter
- Up to 16 (μDrop Plate) or 32 (μDrop Duo Plate) sample positions for quick and easy measurement of sample volumes down to 2 μl
- Compatible with an eight-channel pipette for sample addition
- Easy to clean after measurement
- Measurement slot for a rectangular cuvette
- Ready-made Multiskan SkyHigh user interface and SkanIt Software protocols for nucleic acid and protein analysis
- Compatible with Multiskan Sky, Multiskan SkyHigh and Varioskan LUX microplate readers

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
µDrop and µDrop Duo Plates (Cat. No. N12391, N12391M2) are designed for low-volume (2 to 10 µL) photometric concentration measurements of DNA, RNA, protein, or spectral scanning and can be used without a cuvette. The plates feature a low volume area that allows for direct sample application, eliminating the need for a traditional cuvette. This design facilitates quick and efficient sample preparation and measurement, making the process more streamlined.
The blanking process for µDrop and µDrop Duo Plates (Cat. No. N12391, N12391M2) involves using a designated well under the cuvette for blanking purposes. Specifically, the blank sample is added to the G11 well of the first plate in the layout. This blank sample is used to calibrate the measurements and help ensure accuracy by accounting for any background noise or interference. Each measurement should contain a blank subtraction and we recommend including at least one blank sample in each measurement to maintain the integrity of the results. There are different ways to perform the blank subtraction:
- Blanks on the same µDrop or µDrop Duo Plate
- Sample-specific blanks
- Previously made blanks
