Optimised Microplates for Affinity Binding Assays

Porvair Sciences new medium and high bind Krystal™ microplates set a new standard for uniform and reproducible capture of a wide range of biomolecules ready for affinity binding assays such as ELISA's.

Manufactured from high-quality crystal polystyrene, these new automation-ready plates are available in a choice of ANSI / SLAS standard (96-well and breakable 8-well strip) formats. Offering working volumes up to 320 µl the new Krystal binding plates incorporate a flat bottom to ensure superb assay detection every time.

Designed for hydrophobic passive adsorption of lipid-rich large biomolecules and antigens, including viral antigens, medium binding Krystal plates offer a binding capacity of approximately 100 to 200 ng IgG/cm².

Krystal high binding plates are optimised for passive adsorption of proteins with different grades of hydrophilicity. Offering a binding capacity of 400 to 500 ng IgG/cm² these high bind plates are ideal for immunoassay of glycoproteins and serum samples.

Krzysztof Kielmann, Microplates Product Manager at Porvair Sciences commented: “The aim of binding assays is to measure interactions between two molecules, such as a protein binding another protein, a small molecule, or a nucleic acid. We have developed our new range of Krystal binding plates for labs seeking to uniformly and reproducibly capture biomolecules thereby enabling them to improve their assay detection results.”
