96-well light gray 1/2 area microplate. Half-area plates utilize the same well spacing as a regular 96-well plate, but contain wells with half the diameter of a typical 96-well plate. This enables miniaturization to lower assay volumes while retaining ease-of-pipetting. Light gray plates can help minimize cross-talk while maintaining high signal in luminescent and Alpha assays. PerkinElmer's ½ AreaPlate offers same well depth at half the size to help you miniaturize your assay, designed to utilize cost reduction advantages without going to a 384-well format.
PerkinElmer has designed a light gray microplate which addresses unique challenges of sample screening. The uniquely engineered 384 well and 1536 well light gray AlphaPlate microplates combine the best features of white microplates (excellent signal-to-background) and black microplates (decreased well-to-well crosstalk) for superior assay window and sensitivity in comparison to any other plate for luminescence assays. AlphaPlates are designed for a variety of technologies for luminescence based assays, but are specifically designed for use with PerkinElmer’s AlphaLISA and AlphaScreen technologies. It’s important to choose the correct microplate prior to your screening project. By choosing the incorrect microplate, challenges such as missed data points, sample re-screening, missed project timelines and ultimately higher costs can be incurred.
