Greiner Bio-one Microplate with Lid 96 Well Chimney Well Case of 32 Plates

Greiner Bio-One 96-Well PS Microplate with Lid (655986, Chimney Well)

The Greiner Bio-One 655986 is a high-quality 96-well microplate engineered for high-precision assays and general laboratory liquid handling. Manufactured from medical-grade, high-clarity polystyrene (PS), this plate features a specialized "chimney well" design. In this configuration, each well stands independently, isolated from neighboring wells to virtually eliminate the risk of wicking and cross-contamination. The round-well, flat-bottom geometry provides excellent optical properties for bottom-reading instruments and microscopic inspection. Delivered sterile and complete with a condensation-reducing lid, the 655986 is an essential tool for cell culture, ELISA, and high-throughput screening where sample integrity and optical clarity are paramount.

Technical Performance and Design

• Chimney Well Architecture: The independent well structure reduces the "edge effect" during incubation and ensures a superior seal when using adhesive films or heat-sealing foils, as the seal bonds to each individual well rim.

• High-Clarity Polystyrene: Provides a clear, undistorted window for colorimetric and optical measurements, making it ideal for absorbance-based assays and visual cell monitoring.

• Standardized ANSI/SLAS Footprint: Fully compatible with automated liquid handlers, robotic grippers, and plate readers, ensuring seamless integration into high-throughput laboratory workflows.

• Sterile with Condensation Lid: The included lid is designed with ventilation ribs to ensure consistent gas exchange while minimizing evaporation and preventing condensation from dripping into the samples.

Key Benefits & Applications

• ELISA & Colorimetric Assays: The flat bottom and clear plastic ensure consistent light path lengths for highly accurate spectrophotometric readings.

• Cell Culture Screening: Provides a sterile, non-toxic environment for short-term cell growth and reagent testing.

• High-Throughput Sealing: The chimney design is specifically preferred by laboratories using automated heat-sealers, as it prevents the "bridging" of the film between wells.

• Compound Library Management: Excellent for the storage and dilution of chemical libraries where preventing cross-well contamination is a critical requirement.
