Abstract
A laboratory article, and in particular a cluster plate is provided including a plurality of wells supported by a structural framework including a peripheral wall. At locations in the structural framework a plurality of protrusions are provided so as to support the cluster plate on a support surface, such as a benchtop, in a point-to-point manner. Such point-to-point support allows the article to be moved across the support surface without the generation of unpleasant audible vibrations. According to a preferred embodiment, a cluster plate having protrusions extending from the lower edge of a peripheral wall is provided.
