What is a rapid load comb and how does it differ from Owls micro well combs?
These combs were designed to allow accurate, easy loading from a 96-well plate. Each comb has either a 9 mm or 4.5 mm center-to-center tooth spacing and a separate marker lane for easy quality control. These combs differ from micro well combs in that the number of teeth is an even number of multi channel loadings. Often you may find that they have fewer teeth than a similar micro well comb for the same unit. However, the extra teeth of a 21 tooth micro well combs can’t be loaded with a multi channel pipettor unless only 5 stips are used for the final loading.
