Aurora Microplate with Lid 384 Well Barcoded Sealed 24 Plates

The Aurora 1032-11310-S08 Microplate is a specialized 384-well microplate designed for advanced cell culture and high-throughput screening applications. This plate features square wells and a black body, which is crucial for minimizing background fluorescence and light scattering, enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio in sensitive optical assays. The inclusion of a clear lid allows for easy visual inspection of the well contents while protecting samples from evaporation and contamination.

A key feature of this microplate is its poly-D-lysine coating. Poly-D-lysine is a synthetic amino acid chain that is positively charged, promoting enhanced cell adhesion and growth, particularly for fastidious cell types such as neurons and other primary cells that may struggle to attach to standard tissue culture surfaces. The integrated barcode, indicated by "S08" in the model number, facilitates automated tracking and management within laboratory information systems, crucial for high-throughput workflows. This combination of features makes the Aurora microplate a valuable tool for researchers engaged in complex cell-based assays, neuroscience research, and drug discovery.
