96 well microplate for easy alignment of zebrafish ZF Plate

Date:February 24 2016Web Page No:80394


Appearance of 96 well microplate that efficiently aligns zebrafish

This 96 well plate is optimized for drug discovery screening using zebrafish. Zebrafish can be easily aligned simply by placing them in each well and centrifuging them.
In addition, the glass bottom plate with excellent optical properties makes chemical compound screening using zebrafish more efficient and quantitative.
The thin bottom glass surface enables clear confocal microscopy.

Features

  • Zebrafish can be easily aligned by putting into each well and centrifuging them.
  • Alignment rate* is more than 70%.
  • Glass bottom plate with excellent optical properties enables more efficient and quantitative chemical-screening using zebrafish.
  • Fluorescence and bright-field imaging are supported.
  • Zebrafish quantitative image phenotype analysis is possible by using a high-content imaging system.
  • By aligning zebrafish, it is possible to obtain analysis results with high S/N ratio.
  • The thin bottom glass allows for clearer confocal microscopy.

* The alignment ratio means "Percentage of animals in a horizontal row that can be photographed from the side of the body."
This plate is disposable.
Non–Autoclavable.

Example Protocol

Sample

  • Anesthetized zebrafish (young fish, approx. 3–6 dpf )

Materials needed but not supplied

  • Microplate centrifuge (with flash function)
  • Micropipette (100–200 μL and 1 mL)
  • Pipet tip (wide mouth and low adsorption type recommended)

Protocol

  1. Pipette a zebrafish with anesthetic solution (approx. 75 μL) and gently place into a well.
  2. Quick spin down microplate with centrifuge (200-250G).
  3. Scan with a compatible imaging device (see below).
  4. After scanning, add additional anesthetic solution and remove zebrafish with micropipette for further experiments.
