Abstract	The first microtiter plate was handmade in 1951. A serious influenza epidemic in Hungary urged the physicians to find a fast, economic and reliable test method for the identification on the influenza virus. Standard test methods involving reagent tubes and dilution series were too unreliable and also too tedious, too expensive and timeconsuming. In addition, most laboratories lacked equipment and money. However, this was just the right environment for such a revolutionary idea a common phenomenon in the invention of technical improvements. Therefore, 1951 is the year of birth of microtiter plates.
