A new technical datasheet from Porvair Sciences is now available detailing its comprehensive range of high quality 96- and 384-well assay microplates
For routine adsorption, absorption, mixing and storage applications the standard range of 96-well plates offer the perfect mix of affordability and high quality.
Constructed from clear polystyrene or opaque polypropylene and with a choice of three well types (flat-bottomed, round bottomed and v-bottomed) an optimised standard plate is always available.
Constructed in high-grade polystyrene in white, black, and black/white combination formats the flat-bottomed Assay 96 family provide the ideal microplates for fluorescence, luminescence and scintillation measurements.
White well plates provide maximum reflectivity optimising high sensitivity light emitting luminescence assays.
Black well plates provide the all-absorbing background needed to minimise background interference and eliminate well-to-well cross talk permitting the highest performance fluorimetric assays.
For cell growth applications tissue culture treated Assay 96 plates are also available. Moulded to the highest tolerances and fully conformant to SBS guidelines the High Assay 384 family of microplates provide the ideal plates for high-throughput laboratories using fluorescence, luminescence, scintillation or Elisa assays.
Using a new proprietary manufacturing technique High Assay 384 well plates offer market leading plate flatness (+/-0.10mm).
This high manufacturing tolerance translates into an overall increase in measurement precision and elimination of misreads because the fluorescent imager is always focused on the cells at the bottom of each well.
Maintaining the footprint of a standard 96-well plate, High Assay 384-well plates are fully compatible with almost all plate readers, robotic sample processors, and liquid handling systems.
Storage 384 plates are a new polypropylene microplate optimised to provide a cost effective medium for low temperature sample storage in a convenient 384-well format. Accommadating 384 alphanumerically labelled wells in a high precision microplate enables samples to be stored and easily traced.
Constructed from medical grade polyproylene the new 384-well sample storage plates provide high solvent resistance minimising leachates and ensuring long term sample integrity.
A novel v-bottomed well design provides both high sample capacity and allows sipping probes easy access to all the liquid contents.
