96-Well Plate Footprint Dimensions Microplate Standard Overview The standard established by the former Society for Biomedical Sciences (SBS) now the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) defines the dimensional requirements of the footprint of a microplate as specified in the American National Standards covering these microplates. This standard was devised to describe the […]
The Origin Of Microplate Standards
Microplate Standards The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Society of Biomolecular Screening (SBS) now named the Society For Laboratory Automation And Screening (SLAS) approved a standard for microplates in 2004. In 1995, as early as the first meeting of the SBS, a need for clearly defined dimensional standards of a microplate were identified. The […]
What Is A Well Plate?
Well, What Is A Well Plate? A well plate has many naming variations including, microplate, microwells, microtiter, and multiwell plates. The well plate is a flat plate that looks like a tray with multiple wells that are used as small test tubes.. The well plates are commonly manufactured in a 2:3 rectangular mix with 96, […]

Microplate Lids And Films
Microplate Lids: Protect Samples From Evaporation And Contamination Lids For Microplates To protect samples, reaction batches or cell cultures from both evaporation and contamination, compatible lids are available for all BRANDplates® microplates. The lids are made of crystal-clear polystyrene. They are optimally matched to the corresponding BRANDplates® microplates, so that plates with lids can also be […]
FRET
Application: FRET Spectroscopic Ruler for Measuring nm-scale distances, binding Fluorescence-Resonance-Energy-Transfer Detection of fluorescence signals FRET is an acronym of the Förster (Fluorescence) Resonance Energy Transfer¹. Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer is a special technique to gauge the distance between two chromophores, called a donor-acceptor pair. FRET has become a popular tool to measure the dynamic activities of biological […]
ELISA
Application: ELISA Classical immune analytical assay Detection via different methods possible The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is a test that uses antibodies and color to identify a substance. ELISA is a popular format of “wet lab” type analytic biochemistry assay that uses a solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to detect the presence of a substance, usually an […]
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 […]
