Deep-well plates

SCREENSTAR microplates are specialised products for sophisticated microscopic
applications, in high content screening (HCS) or high resolution microscopy with water and oil immersion objectives. They combine outstanding glass-like optical properties with an excellent surface for adherent cell culture. Display excellent optical properties with reduced autofluorescence in the lower UV range and low birefringence. Enable complete periphery access for high magnification objectives.

Proporties:

• 190 μm ultraclear cycloolefin film bottom
• refractive index of 1.53 comparable to glass
• Recessed microplate bottom allows low working distance and high aperture
• Round well geometry to reduce optical distortions
• Smooth microplate top absent improves heat sealing
• Are available in 96, 384 and 1536 well format

Streptavidin-coated solid phases serve as a reliable binding surface for biotinylated molecules of any kind. Streptavidin solid phases therefore offer the possibility to easily and quickly isolate, detect and quantify components from a reaction. The solid phase is treated with an additional blocking step in order to minimize unspecific binding, i.e. pre-blocking of the plates is not necessary. Furthermore, unusual stringent washing conditions are given, which can positively favour the signal-to-background ratio of the measurement.

Properties & Advantages:
all plates are pre-blocked and ready to use

• Shelf life: 3 years at room temperature
