The well position is also standardized, but only for 96- , 384-, and 1536-well plates. These are generally well followed by manufacturers: Well Positions [16] [17] 96-well plates have a 9 mm well-to-well spacing, 384-wells a 4.5 mm spacing, and 1536-wells a 2.25 mm spacing. A notable characteristic is that the well array is symmetrical when the ...
