Understand your options
Our microplates come in a variety of formats, colors, and well designs. The information below can help you understand which type of plate is best for your applications.
Format
Plates:
Solid plates in multiple well numbers for regular and high-throughput assays
- 96-well
- 384-well
Non-breakable strips:
Strips of wells that can be added to and removed from frames
- 8-well
- 12-well
- 16-well
Breakable strips:
Provide flexibility with sample size—break strips down to single wells
- 8-well
- 12-well
- 16-well
Color
- Clear—use with colorimetric assays
- White—use with bio- and chemi-luminescence assays
- Black—use with fluorescence assays
Well shape
Flat bottom (F-well)—Allows maximum transmission of light. These plates can be read on a monochromatic reader.
Round bottom (U-well)—Optimizes washing and coating. These plates can be read using a dual-wavelength reader.
”C” bottom (C-well)—A combination of both flat and round bottoms. It is a flat bottomed well with curved edges at the bottom. These plates also can be read using a monochromatic reader, combining optimal reading and washing.
StarWell—These wells have a modified “C” shape geometry with eight fins strategically placed at the bottom. This feature increases surface area, allowing more molecules to become immobilized, which reduces incubation times.
