Microplate Innovation Enables Leading Edge Screening Assays

Designed for screening applications that require the highest levels of photometric accuracy and repeatability the Krystal 2000 microplate range from Porvair Sciences Ltd. incorporates a unique clear cup design that eliminates the performance-limiting well-to-well light cross talk inherent in most clear bottomed microplate designs.

Maintaining industry standard 96-well microplate dimensions the Krystal 2000 range is fully compatible with all commercially available plate readers, robotic sample processors and automated liquid handling systems.

Constructed in ultra-pure grade polystyrene, Krystal 2000 microplates are available in opaque white, solid black and black and white combination formats. For sensitive fluorescence measurements the black plate provides the all-absorbing background needed to minimise background interference. The opaque white plate maximises reflectivity enabling even weakly emitting luminescence assays to be routinely undertaken.

In addition to optimised luminescence and fluorescence measurements the unique design offers improved cell binding efficiency and allows the convenience of direct measurements on bottom reading spectrophotometers and inverted microscopes.
