ABSTRACT:
A conductive microplate device for the detection of target biomolecules in a sample is described. The microplate comprises an assembly of a porous substrate and a conductive layer, wherein the assembly is sealed into bottom of at least some wells of the microplate. The porous substrate has a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface comprises a plurality of covalently attached probe biomolecules. The covalently attached probe biomolecules are reactive with the target biomolecules contained in the sample. The conductive layer, which is attached to the bottom surface of the porous substrate, is adapted to receive voltage. Microplates of the present invention can be easily adapted for use with robotic workstations. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the power supply is incorporated into a robotic arm tool for fast microplate processing.
