Editing Microplate (section)

====Microplate variants with increased heights====
There are also deep well microplates sometimes called "blocks". Unlike plates of normal height, the ANSI SLAS 2-2004 height standard,<ref>{{cite web |last1=SLAS |first1=ANSI |title=Height Dimensions for Microplates |url=https://www.slas.org/SLAS/assets/File/public/standards/ANSI_SLAS_2-2004_HeightDimensions.pdf|access-date=20 April 2023}}</ref> does not define a standard height for deep well plates (blocks).  Deepwell plates do typically follow a [[de facto standard|''de facto'' standard]] height of 44&nbsp;mm.

Reservoir plates are also commercially available.<ref>{{cite web |title=Reservoir Microplates |url=https://www.agilent.com/en/product/microplates/standard-custom-microplates/reservoir-microplates-740875 |publisher=Agilent}}</ref> Reservoir plates have columns of wells (as  in 96-well, 24-well, etc. plates) that are fused into single wells, so that they provide additional volume for multichannel pipettes. Like deepwell plates or blocks, they often follow a [[de facto standard|''de facto'' standard]] height of 44&nbsp;mm.
