Klearly better HTS microplates

Available from Porvair Sciences, specialists in microplate technology, the Krystal 2000 range of clear-bottomed 96-well microplates offer the high level of photometric accuracy and repeatability required by High Throughput Screening applications.

At the heart of the Krystal 2000 is a unique clear cup design that eliminates the performance-limiting well-to-well light cross talk inherent in most clear bottomed microplate designs. In addition to optimised luminescence and fluorescence measurements the unique design offers improved cell binding efficiency and allows the convenience of direct measurements on bottom reading spectrophotometers and inverted microscopes.

Constructed in ultra-pure grade polystyrene, Krystal 2000 microplates are available in opaque white, solid black and black and white combination formats. For sensitive fluorescence measurements the black plate provides the all-absorbing background needed to minimise background interference. The opaque white plate maximises reflectivity enabling even weakly emitting luminescence assays to be routinely undertaken.

Maintaining standard 96-well microplate dimensions the Krystal 2000 range is fully compatible with most plate readers, robotic sample processors and automated liquid handling systems.
