A multiplier circuit that operates on a novel complex data format where the real and imaginary parts of the source and result operands are represented by single precision floating point numbers. The static seal portion is arranged about a central axis and defines static seal radius D1. The count direction of the counter is controlled by a counter control circuit that receives the LSB the next to least significant bit of the starting column address, as well as a signal indicative of the operating mode of the DRAM. When the incision is complete the curved cutting blade is detached from the rotatable support arm. The microplate corresponds to a plurality of physical microplates, the virtual microplate comprising a first virtual well associated with a first physical well of a first physical microplate and a second virtual well associated with a second physical well of a second physical microplate.
