Porvair Sciences, specialists in microplate technology, have available a comprehensive range of high quality 96- and 384-well microplates that offer optimised solutions for almost any assay measurement.

For routine adsorption, absorption, mixing and storage applications the standard range of 96-well plates offer the perfect mix of affordability and high quality. Constructed from clear polystyrene or opaque polypropylene and with a choice of three well types (flat, round and v-bottomed) an optimised standard plate is always available. Constructed in high-grade polystyrene in white, black, and black/white combination formats the flat-bottomed 96-well assay plate family provide the ideal microplates for fluorescence, luminescence and scintillation measurements. White well plates provide maximum reflectivity optimising high sensitivity light emitting luminescence assays. Black well plates provide the all-absorbing background needed to minimise background interference and eliminate well-to-well cross talk permitting the highest performance fluorimetric assays. For cell growth applications tissue culture treated 96-well assay plates are also available.

In laboratories looking to conserve valuable samples and reagents, Porvair's new, low volume 384-well assay plates with a maximum liquid capacity of just 30ul per well are the microplate of choice. 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.

Fully compliant to SBS guidelines Porvair's Standard Assay 384 family of microplates provide an ideal solution for high-throughput laboratories using fluorescence, luminescence, scintillation or ELISA assays. Moulded to the highest tolerances the Standard Assay 384 well plates offer market leading plate flatness (± 0.20mm) translating 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, all Porvair 384-well assay plates are fully compatible with almost all plate readers, robotic sample processors, & liquid handling systems.
