Description

the Corning REF 3825 , which is a low volume, 384-well, white flat bottom polystyrene microplate . These types of microplates are commonly used in laboratory settings for high-throughput screening, assays, or other experiments that require small sample volumes. Here’s a breakdown of the key features: Low Volume : Designed for assays that require smaller sample volumes. This can be particularly useful for expensive reagents or when only small amounts of sample are available. 384-Well Format : It has 384 wells, making it a high-density microplate. This is ideal for maximizing throughput in high-content screening applications or other assays that benefit from miniaturization. White Color : The white color of the well bottoms helps enhance the sensitivity and uniformity of luminescent assays (e.g., reporter gene assays or other luminescent-based assays). It reflects light effectively, improving signal detection. Flat Bottom : Flat-bottom plates are often used in applications that require a uniform and consistent reading, especially when using plate readers for optical measurements (such as absorbance, fluorescence, or luminescence). They provide a more even surface for light detection compared to round-bottom wells. Polystyrene Material : Polystyrene is a common plastic used in microplates due to its low cost and good optical properties, although it's generally more prone to leaching when compared to other plastics like polypropylene. It's compatible with a wide variety of assays and reagents.
