Sterile microplates enhance growth of cell lines
Porvair Sciences offer a range of sterile, high volume microplates optimised for large scale, high yield growth of bacteria, yeast and mammalian or insect cell lines
Available in black, white, or clear polystyrene the low volume 384-well assay plates have been optimised for fluorescence, luminescence/scintillation and Elisa/turbidity measurements respectively.
Supplied individually wrapped or in bulk packs, each type of low volume 384-well assay plate is available in standard, high bind or tissue culture treated formats.
Moulded to the highest tolerances and fully conformant to SBS guidelines Porvair's Standard Assay 384 family of microplates are said to provide an ideal solution for high-throughput laboratories using fluorescene, luminescence, scintillation or Elisa assays.
Using a new proprietary manufacturing technique Standard Assay 384 well plates claim market-leading plate flatness (+/-0.20mm).
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, Standard 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.
Working volume range from 120ul to 300ul.
Accommodating 384 alphanumerically labelled wells in a high precision microplate enables samples to be stored and easily traced.
Constructed from specially selected polypropylene the new 384-well sample storage pates 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. Request a free brochure from Porvair Sciences ...
