Low volume 384 clear bottom plates MGB102 and MGB103: reduce tissue culture demands by nearly 90% compared to standard volume plates. Working volumes are 40 and 70uL respectively, in half height (10.4mm) and standard height (14.35mm) formats.
Features:
Bottom surface options: 0.72 or 0.17mm glass (custom available on request) and clear quartz.
Glass bottom plates are scratch resistant.
Glass bottom plates are microbubble resistant
Black or white polystyrene upper microplate structure.
Applications include fluorescence assays such as laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS); and Nephelometry. Ideal for cell-based assays using Scanning and Confocal imagers including Amersham IN Cell Analyzer, Cellomics ArrayScan, Molecular Devices FLIPR, Universal Imaging Discovery-1, Applied BioSystems FMAT, PerkinElmer ImageTrak, Q3DM EIDAQ and more.
MGB101(384-well) and MGB111(1536-well) offer 20-120 and 1-12µl working volumes, respectively. Both series include a flat bottom with rounded square microwells to eliminate liquid wicking.
MGB102 (40µl, 10.4mm height)offers low volume plate options designed to reduce tissue culture demands by 90% compared to standard volume microplates.
Unmatched flatness tolerances including . Individual window flatness better than 2 microns over a 0.75mm square field of view.
--Frame flatness better than 150 microns from row A to row P and column 1 to 24.
Additional options: clear or black lids; and special surface treatments including poly D-lysine, fibronectin, collagen and more.
Applications:
Why glass instead of plastic?
Cell based assays
Scanning and Confocal imagers
CCD imagers
LIF and FCS
Nephelometry
In two-photon work, the excitation energy is sufficiently intense at the coverslip-buffer interface (where the cells grow) that microbubbles are formed in the plastic. These have an obvious negative impact on the image quality. Glass does not suffer this problem. Read more
