High Quality 384-well Assay Plates …

Available in black, white or clear polystyrene, Porvair Sciences offers a comprehensive range of 384-well assay plates optimised for fluorescence, luminescence / scintillation and ELISA / turbidity measurements.

Providing a liquid capacity of only 30ul per well, Porvair low volume 384-well assay plates are of particular interest to high throughput screening laboratories looking to conserve valuable samples and reagents. Using a proprietary manufacturing technique the low volume 384 well assay plate range offers market leading plate flatness + 0.20mm. This translates into a significant increase in plate tolerance that helps to eliminate mis-handling problems when used within automated environments.

For laboratories looking to carry out more work in a 384-well format - Porvair also offers a range of square 384-well plates with a liquid capacity of 120ul per well. All plates in this range are designed to have minimal well-to-well crosstalk and are rounded at the bottom to reduce wicking.

All Porvair 384-well assay plates are precisely manufactured to strictly conform to SBS/ANSI dimensions ensuring trouble free integration with automated systems. Supplied individually wrapped or in bulk packs, each type of Porvair 384-well assay plate is available in standard, high bind or tissue culture treated formats.

Porvair Sciences Ltd has specialised in the manufacture of microplates since its formation in 1992. Via its global distributor network, Porvair Sciences serves Life Sciences, Biotechnology, R&D and Molecular Biology with microplate solutions for all applications, from sample preparation to high throughput screening. Porvair Sciences is a subsidiary of Porvair plc, a world leader in microporous materials.
