Creating a Screen

ROCK MAKER has a library of commercial screens that can be added to your experiments. These screens are available in 96 deep well blocks with a capacity of 2ml per well. In addition to using commercial screens in your experiments, ROCK MAKER allows you to create a personal screen.
