Clear benefits from these microplates
'Unique' clear-bottomed microplates are optimised for luminescence and fluorescence assays and are available in black, white, or black and white formats
Microplates increase sensitivity of HTS assays
The Krystal 384-well microplate range incorporates novel square wells with a large liquid capacity of 120ul per well increasing the achievable sensitivity of most HTS assays performed
Proprietary production techniques have allowed Porvair to offer a 384-well Krystal plate range with market leading plate flatness (+/- 0.10mm).
For scientists performing cell based assays with fluorescent imagers this translates into elimination of misreads and a significant increase in measurement precision.
Optimised for luminescence and fluorescence assays the novel clear cup design of Krystal 2000 96-well plates ensures zero well-to-well light cross talk providing unmatched measurement accuracy and repeatability.
In addition the clear cup design offers improved cell binding efficiency together with the convenience of direct use on inverted microscopes and bottom reading spectrophotometers.
Available in standard white or black, high bind or tissue culture treated versions Krystal 96 plates offer a versatile and cost effective 96-well solution for most photometric applications.
For photometric applications where typically samples are large Porvair's range of unique black and white Krystal 24 plates provide a solution.
Offering twenty-four high volume (3.1ml) wells in the convenient footprint of a standard 96-well plate the Krystal 24 provides a large surface area per well enabling efficient cell growth.
All Krystal range microplates are fully compatible with all automated liquid handling systems, photometric readers, and robotic handling devices. Request a free brochure from Porvair Sciences ...
