Uses
1. Spot Testing
- Tile cavity plates are often used for small-scale spot tests. Each cavity can hold a small volume of reagents, allowing for multiple tests to be conducted simultaneously without cross-contamination.
2. pH Testing
- The cavities are used to place different samples and test their pH by adding a few drops of pH indicators or using pH paper.
3. Preliminary Chemical Reactions
- Small-scale reactions can be carried out in individual cavities for preliminary analysis. This is useful when working with limited amounts of chemicals or when you want to observe the color change or precipitation in different conditions.
4. Titrations
- Microtitrations can be performed in tile cavities, especially when only a small amount of reagent is needed. The multiple cavities allow for titration of several samples or repeated trials in parallel.
5. Biological Assays
- In microbiology, tile plates can be used to hold small quantities of cultures, reagents, or even bacterial suspensions for observation or staining.
6. Staining
- In biological applications, tile cavities can be used to perform staining of cells or tissues with different staining solutions. For example, Gram staining or other histological staining techniques can be performed using tile plates for efficiency.
7. Storage of Small Volumes
- They can be used for temporary storage of small liquid samples, especially when a large number of solutions need to be handled in small volumes.
