Costar 96-Well Black and White Solid Plates
Corning® Costar 96-Well Black and White Solid Plates are tested for opacity, low background fluorescence, and luminescence to assure minimal well-to-well cross-talk. Choose tissue-culture treated surface for cell growth or non-treated surface for solution-based assays.
Polystyrene flat-bottom plates are available in two colors: white maximizes signal reflection while maintaining low background fluorescence; and black plates minimize background fluorescence. Total well volume is 360 µL.
Key Features
- Recommended working volumes of 75 to 200 µL
- Opaque, inert polystyrene for minimum cross-talk
- Choose from tissue-culture treated or non-treated plates
Costar 96-well solid plates in black and white optimize fluorescence and luminescence assays. White wells maximize signal output while black wells minimize cross-well interference and background fluorescence. Standard SBS format integrates with plate readers and automated liquid handling systems. Sign in to your account or contact your sales rep for organizational pricing.
Frequently asked questions
When should I use white wells versus black wells?
Use white wells to maximize signal brightness in fluorescence assays and black wells to reduce background fluorescence and cross-well interference.
Are these plates compatible with standard plate readers?
Yes. Costar 96-well plates use the standard SBS (Society for Biomolecular Screening) format compatible with all modern microplate readers.
Can I use automated liquid handling systems with these plates?
Yes. Standard SBS format integrates seamlessly with liquid handling robotics and automated plate processing systems.
What assays are best suited for solid microplates?
Solid microplates are optimized for fluorescence assays, luminescence assays, and high-throughput cell-based screening applications.
Are quantity discounts available for bulk orders?
