MatriCal's unique well design allows light to both enter and exit the well in the most efficient manner. The angle of the side walls are designed such that they correspond to the angle of light emitted from the light sources in CCD and PMT-type detectors.
Features:
MP100 series, standard 384 wll microplates, offers 20-120µl working volume and includes: a flat bottom with rounded square microwells to eliminate liquid wicking; and raised well edge for enhanced sealing.
MP101, low volume 384 wll microplates, series offers 0.5-50µl working volume, allowing significant reagent savings over a 96-well microplate. A constant surface-area-to-volume and plastic-area-to-volume ratio between 2-40µl allows direct miniaturization (in a 384-well or 1536-well format) without requiring that you reformat your assay. A unique inverted, cropped-pyramid microwell design enhances assay signal through better light transfer, directs automated 96 or 384 pipettor tips into sample microwells, eliminates vapor lock bubble formation, and ensures easier scaling.
Both MP100 and MP101 series:
Are optimized for fluorescence, luminescence, fluorescence polarization and time resolved fluorescence.
Ensure strict adherence to ANSI/ SBS tolerances, including microplate flatness. Polypropylene parts tend to change shape over time, which is detrimental to pipetting. MatriCal polypropylene microwell plates contain a 2 micron ceramic glass bead filler to provide additional structural rigidity. Because polypropylene fully coats any additive included in the molding process, the samples will not be exposed to the glass bead.
Are ideal for detectors using CCD or PMT technology including LeadSeeker™, ViewLux™, Victor™, Fusion™, Envision™, Analyst™, Acquest™, Ultra™ and more.
Offer a wide variety of options, including: black, white or clear; polystyrene or polypropylene; low-binding Teflon-filled polypropylene; sterile; and special surface treatments, including tissue culture, poly D-lysine, fibronectin, collagen and more.
