PerkinElmer OptiPlate Microplate 384-Well Half Area Pack of 50 Plates

PerkinElmer OptiPlate-384 White Half-Area Microplate - 384-Well Format, 45 microliter Well Volume, Solid White Polystyrene, Low Background Luminescence (MPN: 6005629)

The PerkinElmer 6005629 (part of the global OptiPlate life sciences product family) is a high-performance, research-grade 384-well microplate precision-engineered for high-sensitivity luminescence, fluorescence, and scintillation assays. Featuring an optimized "half-area" well geometry that shrinks the standard well diameter, these specialized plates allow researchers to reduce working sample volumes down to a 10 to 30 microliter range without losing signal intensity or meniscus pathlength. Molded from premium, high-purity virgin polystyrene, the solid white structure is explicitly designed to reflect max photonic emissions back toward top-reading microplate reader detectors while completely blocking well-to-well crosstalk and light bleed, making it an excellent tool for cell-based screening and biochemical tracking.

Technical Performance and Design

• Signal-Maximizing Solid White Matrix: Injection-molded with a high-density white pigment compound. This opaque backdrop serves as a highly efficient light reflector, boosting raw signal output for weak luminescent or fluorescent readouts while providing a zero-transmittance barrier against optical crosstalk between neighboring wells.

• Volume-Saving Half-Area Geometry: Engineered with reduced-diameter wells that narrow down toward a flat bottom base. This profile creates a deep liquid meniscus at a total well capacity of just 45 microliters, allowing laboratories to cut reagent usage significantly compared to conventional 384-well plates.

• Pristine Flat-Bottom Optics: Every well floor is molded to absolute flatness parameters, ensuring uniform optical pathlengths and stable focal distances across all 384 positions for robotic detection systems.

• Automated Microplate Frame: Conforms strictly to standardized ANSI/SLAS physical footprints, featuring rigid side-wall tracking skirts and precise corner notch layouts that support seamless integration with automated liquid handlers, robotic gripper arms, and stacking plate hotels.

Key Benefits and Applications

• Luminescent Reporter Assays: The industry benchmark microplate platform for executing high-sensitivity Luciferase reporter gene assays, ATP-based cell viability screens, and chemiluminescent ELISA workflows.

• SPA and Scintillation Screening: Widely utilized in molecular pharmacology for Scintillation Proximity Assays (SPA) and radioimmunoassay tracking where low background phosphorescence is mandatory to preserve data validity.

• High-Value Reagent Conservation: The ideal choice for high-throughput screening (HTS) groups looking to minimize consumption of expensive enzymes, target proteins, primary antibodies, or rare synthetic library compounds.

• Zero Plasticizer Baseline Protection: Manufactured under clean, automated conditions to ensure no ambient mold-release agents, lubricants, or chemical impurities bleed into the sample wells to alter high-sensitivity enzymatic readouts.
