More accurate dose-response curves can be constructed by eliminating aqueous serial dilution of compounds. Traditional serial dilutions that use aqueous diluents can result in errors in dose-response values of up to 4 orders of magnitude for a significant percentage of a compound library. When DMSO is used as the diluent, the errors are reduced but not eliminated. The authors use acoustic drop ejection (ADE) to transfer different volumes of model library compounds, directly creating a concentration gradient series in the receiver assay plate. Sample losses and contamination associated with compound handling are therefore avoided or minimized, particularly in the case of less water-soluble compounds. ADE is particularly well suited for assay miniaturization, but gradient volume dispensing is not limited to miniaturized applications. (Journal of Biomolecular Screening 2010: 86-94)
