Are you saying that you'd like to re-use the plate with the original screening solutions, or that you plan to clean the plates, then dispense fresh screening solutions?

If you would like to re-use the original screening solutions, beware...after many weeks, they will not be the same concentrations (and in some cases, not even the same pH) as they were when first dispensed into the plates. Slow evaporation of water occurs through the plastic of the plates as well as through the tape.

Does such a thing exist? A 24-well microplate configuration where in substitution of glass cover slips, you have a roll of tape templated such that there are circular areas where you can add your protein where there is no adhesive, but there is adhesive everywhere else?

This may be a nightmare for plate manufacturers, but to reuse the plate, you just throw away the film and tear a new one.

Thanks!
