Features/Benefits

  • Maximum volume per well:
    • 384 = 105µL
    • 1536 = 12µL
    • 384 shallow = 5-20 µL
  • Low noise and 17x reduction on cross-talk for AlphaLISA and AlphaScreen assays, improving S/B and optimizing Z’
  • Standard 14.35 mm height
  • Identical dimension for both 384- and 1536-well formats, allowing better gripping area for robotics
  • No need for adjusting automation protocols to adapt to a 10mm 1536-well height plates
  • Patented design meets SBS/ANSI standards
  • Can be used on PerkinElmer instrumentation
