Answer
Yes, new Corning® Matrigel® matrix-3D plates are automation compatible and provide the convenience and consistency required for high-throughput assays. The plates eliminate the need to handle ECM dispensation. This off-the shelf pre-coated option reduces inaccuracies that can occur during manual operations. Corning® Matrigel® matrix-3D plates are available in 384-well and 96-well formats. To learn more about using Corning® Matrigel® matrix-3D plates, read the Guidelines for Use. You also may find this application note that cover using the new plates in high throughout assays helpful.
