Description

General description

• Round well design with a solid black flat bottom.
• 2.8 mm distance between well bottoms to plate bottom.
• 50 μL total well volume, with recommended working volume of 5-40 μL.
• High base plate design is compatible with automation and for bar coding.
• Validated by Molecular Devices for the FLIPR reader. Outer wells aligned for proper viewing with FLIPR.
• Ideal for miniaturized 384 well fluorescent homogeneous assays.
• Nonbinding surface (NBS) is a Corning proprietary treatment technology used on polystyrene microplates to create a nonionic hydrophilic surface (polyethylene oxide-like) that minimizes molecular interactions.

Non-Binding surface (NBS^™) multiwell plates have a modified polymer surface (PS) which results in a non-ionic hydrophilic surface (polyethylene oxide-like), thereby minimizing bio-interaction and enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio. Results have demonstrated NBS′s ability to significantly reduce protein and nucleic acid binding to polymers (<2 ng/cm²; over 90% reduction of protein binding compare to PS & PP surface), maintain enzyme activity, and inhibit adhesion of a number of cell lines. These novel surface technologies for assay plates are ideal for homogeneous assays such as Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA). In addition to a 20+ fold increase in signal-to-noise ratio, selected assays have also displayed improved sensitivity and specificity. The recommended working volume of up to 20 μL to 80 μL for 384 well plates.
