Cyclo-olefin microplates

 

> Manufactured from 100% cyclo-olefin polymer to provide superior optical clarity, thermal stability, biocompatibility, low auto-fluorescence, flatness and chemical resistance. Suitable for use with 100% DMSO.

 

> Rigid design. Cyclo-olefin microplates meet SBS standards and can be used reliably in most automated systems, at any temperature.

 

> Exhibits thermal stability from -80 to 120degC. Suitable for cold storage, incubation and thermo cycling.

 

> Optically transparent, with low autofluorescence, to give a wide spectrum of detection wavelengths and improved signal to noise ratio.

 

> 100% biocompatible. Cells grow readily on the plate surface. Available tissue-culture treated for cell, or biochemical, attachment.

 

> With a surface chemistry similar to polypropylene, the untreated plate surface displays very low non-specific binding.

 

> Can be coated with pdL, collagen, and many other processes, to improve surface performance for sensitive cell-lines or biomolecules.

 

> Broad chemical resistance. Cyclo-olefin microplates are not compromised by DMSO and can be used for pre-printing chemical libraries for just-in-time screening operations.

 

> 384, 1536 and 3456 well formats. Ideal for a wide variety of screening workloads and throughput.

 

> Available with additional evaporation-control perimeter wells to eliminate edge effects (evaporation and water uptake) in most assays to produce higher quality results across the whole plate. Snug fitting lids and reduced permeability of cyclo-olefin (compared to polystyrene or polypropylene) minimise evaporation further.

 

> Improved flatness (less than 100 microns) enable imaging applications to perform better and faster, reducing the auto-focus time required for each well location.

 

> “Acoustic-ready”. Recommended for use on the Ats-100 acoustic (non-contact) dispenser.

 

> Available with pre-applied Code 128 barcode. Tested for optimal readability, chemical resistance and temperature variation.
