The mosquito has special (albeit fairly pricey at $13 each) plastic sheets that allow setup of hanging drops in a 96-well format. It can also do multiple drops per well. As far as I know this is a capability unique to the Mosquito but I may be wrong.

So it's the same thing- rearrange the dispense location and flip the cover- which is either a glass plate or mylar or a tape seal. -- Lisa Nagy University of Alabama-Birmingham [EMAIL PROTECTED]
