Plugged-up manifold ports for a microplate washer.
Short skinny tubes are dispensers, tall fat ones are vacuum.
“Fat” is about 1.5mm.
This is a microplate. Sometimes we use 200/day and each gets 4 to 6 rounds of squirting stuff in and washing.

If it isn’t rigorously maintained, protein builds up, plugs form, the manifold has to come off for manual cleaning. Warm enzymatic detergent, then shoving a tiny wire into each hole.

So lots of samples being tested in parallel by robots between manual degunkings

This is a 96 well version.
384 is used for some tests, and 1536 for others. Robot work.
