Corning Microplate 1536 Well Barcoded Cyclic Olefin 20 Plates

The Corning 4561 Microplate is a specialized 1536-well microplate designed for ultra-high-throughput screening (uHTS) and advanced assay development, particularly in drug discovery and molecular research. This plate features a barcoded design, which is essential for automated tracking and data management in high-volume, robotic screening workflows, minimizing errors and enhancing efficiency.

The microplate is constructed from Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC), a high-performance polymer known for its excellent optical properties, chemical resistance, and low autofluorescence. COC provides superior optical clarity, similar to glass, making it ideal for various optical detection methods, including fluorescence, luminescence, and absorbance. Unlike polystyrene, COC exhibits minimal water absorption, which helps to maintain consistent well volumes over long incubation periods and reduces potential solvent interactions.

The 1536-well format enables the miniaturization of assays, leading to significant savings in costly reagents and precious samples. This Corning microplate with its COC material and barcoded design is a valuable tool for laboratories pushing the boundaries of high-throughput screening and requiring robust, optically clear, and chemically inert consumables for their most demanding assays.
