Maximum Efficiency with

Ultra-High-Density and Chemical Inertness

0.050ml glass tubes
1536-well format plate

The Hirschmann™ 1536-Well Glass Tube Microplate is the ultimate solution for ultra-high-throughput environments that demand performance, precision, and chemical compatibility. Despite its compact footprint, each of the 1536 wells contains a glass insert, ensuring no compromise on purity, even with micro-volume assays.

This format is ideal for pharmaceutical screening, molecular biology, and miniaturized bioassays. Despite the extremely high well count, the design ensures even thermal distribution and robust plate handling, making it a reliable tool in demanding automation setups.

The plate is built from lightweight, high-purity polypropylene (PP), delivering consistent structural integrity and resistance to aggressive solvents. Ideal for labs focused on miniaturization and automation in pharmaceutical discovery and biochemical screening.

Product Applications

Ultra-High-Throughput Screening (uHTS)

The 1536-well format enables thousands of tests on a single plate, reducing reagent costs and increasing speed. The glass maintains purity even at micro volumes (~50 µL), vital for reliable hits in screening.

Miniaturized Enzymatic and Cell Assays

Glass provides a biologically inert environment that doesn’t absorb or interfere with enzymes or cellular metabolites. This minimizes background noise and improves assay sensitivity.

Lead Optimization and Compound Profiling

During early-stage drug development, researchers need to profile thousands of compounds quickly and accurately. The small volume capacity combined with chemical resistance supports efficient hit-to-lead workflows.

Biochemical and Molecular Biology Workflows

Sensitive molecular reactions like PCR or enzymatic assays benefit from the thermal stability and cleanliness of glass. The PP frame is compatible with automated liquid handling for high-volume lab environments.
