Corning 3686 Assay Microplate 96 Well Black Pack of 25 Plates

The Corning 3686 Assay Plates are specialized microplates designed for various laboratory assays, particularly those involving optical measurements. These plates are characterized by their black color, half-area wells, flat bottom, and non-treated surface.   

The black color of the plates is a key feature, as it minimizes background fluorescence and light scatter. This is crucial for assays that rely on fluorescence or luminescence detection, as it enhances the signal-to-noise ratio and improves the sensitivity and accuracy of the measurements. The half-area wells reduce the volume of reagents required per assay, leading to cost savings, especially when using expensive reagents. The flat bottom design is essential for accurate optical readings, ensuring a uniform path length for light transmission or emission.   

The non-treated surface of these plates means that they are not modified to promote cell adhesion. This makes them suitable for assays where cell attachment is not desired, such as suspension cell assays, enzyme assays, or other biochemical assays. Corning microplates are known for their consistent quality and reliable performance, making them a trusted choice in research and clinical laboratories.
