Intro To Plate Readers Microplate readers are also referred to as plate readers are laboratory instruments designed to detect biological, chemical or physical events in microplates¹ via the measurements of light. Plate readers are commonly found in many laboratories and are widely used for many applications across a wide range of disciplines, including life sciences, research, […]
ANSI/SLAS Microplate Standards
ANSI/SLAS Microplate Standards (ANSI/SLAS 1 to 4 – 2004) The Society For Laboratory Automation And Screening (SLAS) is not a standardizing organization, they are a society that provides a working group the ability and platform to standardize along with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ANSI The American National Standards Institute is a private, non-profit […]
Well Plate Barcode
High Quality Well Plate Barcode Printing For Automation Sample And Plate Traceability While BRANDplates® microplates feature two large areas for identification marking for small volume manual use, robotic use of plates often requires the use of barcodes for identification. The use of a barcode improves readability by the user as well as machine tracking to […]
Determination Of Membrane Potential
Application: Determination Of Membrane Potential Detection via fluorescence Black Pigmented Plates Black pigmented plates are optimized for fluorescence measurements. The plates show a minimal auto-fluorescence because of the black pigmentation, especially in the lower wavelengths, as well as minimized crosstalk between the wells. Black plates are available as standard, low volume or […]
AlphaScreen
Application: AlphaScreen® Competitive assay for measuring cAMP Detection of fluorescence signals The AlphaScreen® and AlphaLISA® are bead-based assay technologies used to study bimolecular interactions in a microplate format. ALPHA is an acronym for Amplified Luminescent Proximity Homogeneous Assay and is a versatile technology used to detect and quantify a broad range of analytes in complex biological processes¹. […]
1536-Well Microplate
Ultra High-Throughput Screening Applications For 1536-Well Microplates Well Plate Options The 1536-well standard format microplate is manufactured out of a single piece of polymer, (PS) polystyrene, in transparent, or colored black or white. The 1536-well standard format microplates have a rounded well design which allows for the optimal uniform meniscus formation. There are two surface options […]
