Abstract
Microtitre trays and their spill-resistant open lids prevent cross contamination of samples and also accommodate fragile and flexible probes of automated biological sample analysis systems. The open-lids can be in the form of sleeves located on the top sides of each well of microtitre trays. In one version, one microtitre tray with its bottom sections severed is stacked on top of another microtitre tray to provide the open-lids. A cutting tool is also provided to sever the bottom sections of each well from microtitre trays. The cutting tool includes a lever, a blade and a clamping device.
