Corning Microplate 96 Well Black with Lid 2 Packs with 20 Plates Each

Corning® 3916 96-Well Black Microplate (Flat Bottom, with Lid)

The Corning® 3916 is a high-performance 96-well microplate specifically designed for fluorescence-based assays and light-sensitive laboratory applications. Manufactured from premium, high-quality polystyrene, the plate is pigmented with a specialized black carbon-based additive that virtually eliminates light scattering and well-to-well crosstalk. The flat-bottom well geometry provides superior optical clarity for bottom-reading instruments and ensures a consistent light path for high-sensitivity detection. Delivered sterile and including a specialized low-evaporation lid, the 3916 is the industry standard for researchers performing fluorometric protein quantification, enzymatic kinetics, and cell-based fluorescent assays where a high signal-to-noise ratio is critical for accurate data.

Technical Performance and Design

• Superior Fluorescence Performance: The opaque black walls absorb back-scattered light, resulting in exceptionally low background fluorescence and improved detection limits for low-concentration analytes.

• Optical Flat-Bottom Design: The precision-molded flat bottom ensures a uniform surface for cell attachment and consistent optical performance across all 96 wells.

• Non-Reversible Lid: The included lid features a condensation ring design that minimizes evaporation and protects samples from environmental contamination during long-term incubation.

• Surface Treatment: Available as non-binding or tissue-culture (TC) treated; this standard 3916 model features a medium-binding surface ideal for many adsorption-based assays (please verify specific lot treatment).
