Corning Microplate 96 Well with Lid PS Total of 35 Plates

Corning 3610 96-Well White/Clear Bottom Microplate (TC-Treated, Individually Wrapped)

The Corning 3610 is a premium 96-well microplate specifically engineered for bioluminescence and chemiluminescence assays that require high signal sensitivity and the ability to perform bottom-reading or microscopic observation. The plate features opaque white walls designed to maximize signal reflection while preventing well-to-well crosstalk. This is fused to an optically clear, flat bottom that allows for direct visualization of the cell monolayer. Manufactured from medical-grade virgin polystyrene, the surface is vacuum-gas plasma treated for consistent Tissue Culture (TC) performance. These plates are supplied sterile and individually wrapped to ensure maximum purity and convenience for low-throughput or highly sensitive experimental runs.

Technical Performance and Design

• Signal Enhancement: The white pigment in the well walls is highly reflective, significantly increasing the signal-to-noise ratio in luminescence assays compared to clear or black plates.

• Crosstalk Prevention: Opaque wall construction ensures that light generated in one well does not bleed into adjacent wells, maintaining the integrity of quantitative data in high-dynamic-range assays.

• Validated TC-Treatment: The hydrophilic surface modification promotes uniform cell attachment and growth, making it ideal for cell-based reporter gene assays and metabolic activity studies.

• Individually Wrapped Purity: Each plate is sealed in its own medical-grade packaging, preventing batch contamination and ensuring that each plate remains sterile until the moment of use.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Luciferase Reporter Assays: The gold standard for ATP-monitoring and gene expression studies where maximum light capture is essential for detecting low-level signals.

• Bottom-Reading Luminescence: Optimized for multi-mode plate readers that utilize bottom-reading detectors, providing a clear path for light transmission without interference from the opaque walls.

• Cell-Based Scintillation: Frequently used in proximity assays where the white background enhances the detection of light-emitting isotopes or fluorophores.

• Microscopic Confirmation: The clear bottom allows researchers to confirm cell health and confluence via inverted microscopy prior to adding detection reagents.
