Microplates
Microplates are used for sample analysis, storage, and high-throughput workflows in research, clinical, and diagnostic laboratories. These 250 µL microplates are available in clear, black, and white formats with flat-bottom, U-bottom, and V-bottom well configurations to support a wide range of applications including ELISA, fluorescence, and luminescence assays. Designed for compatibility with standard plate readers and automation systems, microplates provide consistent well geometry, reliable performance, and flexibility across multiple laboratory workflows.
Selecting Microplates for Your Workflow
Choosing the right microplate configuration is essential for optimizing assay performance, signal detection, and workflow compatibility.
Plate color:
Clear microplates are ideal for absorbance and general applications, black microplates reduce background signal for fluorescence assays, and white microplates enhance luminescence detection.
Well bottom shape:
Flat-bottom plates are used for ELISA and optical measurements, U-bottom plates support mixing and cell applications, and V-bottom plates are ideal for sample recovery and centrifugation.
Volume capacity:
250 µL wells provide a balance between sample volume and assay flexibility for a wide range of applications.
Material:
Typically manufactured from high-quality polystyrene for optical clarity and chemical resistance.
Compatibility:
Designed to fit standard plate readers, incubators, and automation systems.
Workflow flexibility:
Multiple configurations allow use across different assay types, from detection-based workflows to sample preparation.
For most laboratory applications, selecting the appropriate combination of plate color and well shape ensures accurate results and efficient workflow performance.
