High-Volume Microplate Designed for Sensitive Photometric Assays

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 02 Dec 2009
With a well volume of 3.1 mL, a new microplate is a suitable choice for screening applications that require high sensitivity combined with photometric accuracy and repeatability. More...
Moreover, the microplate's large surface area per well makes the tissue culture-treated version of the plate ideal for cell growth applications.

Constructed in ultra-pure grade polystyrene, Krystal 24 microplates, developed by Porvair Sciences, Ltd. (Leatherhead, Surrey UK), are available in opaque white and solid black formats. For sensitive fluorescence measurements, the black plate provides the all-absorbing background needed to minimize background interference. The opaque white plate maximizes reflectivity enabling even weakly emitting luminescence assays to be routinely undertaken. In addition to optimized luminescence and fluorescence measurements, the unique Krystal 24 design offers improved cell binding efficiency and provides the convenience of direct measurements on bottom reading spectrophotometers and inverted microscopes.

Precisely manufactured to SBS/ANSI microplate dimensions, the cost-effective Krystal 24 design is fully compatible with all commercially available plate readers, robotic sample processors, and automated liquid-handling systems. (ANSI/SBS 1-2004 Microplate Footprint Dimensions as registered and designated by the American National Standards Institute [ANSI]).

Porvair Sciences' expertise in microplate technology and manufacturing covers scientific fields including life sciences, drug discovery, combinatorial chemistry, solid phase extraction, protein purification, high-throughput screening, proteomics and genomics. Porvair Sciences is a wholly owned subsidiary of Porvair plc.
