Microplates for Storage
Overview
Plates used for compound storage need to be resistant to the types of solvents that may be used to preserve chemical libraries. PerkinElmer offers 96-well and 384-well polypropylene (PP) StorPlates™ for compound storage. Polypropylene is both resistant to the solvents used in compound storage and suitable for use at temperatures down to -80 °C.

Plate Seals
PerkinElmer offers a variety of plate seals. TopSeal™ is a range of plate seals that are applied to the top surface of the plate, and are used to prevent evaporation or radioactive contamination during assay incubation steps and/or plate reading measurements. TopSeal-A can be left on the plate during luminescent, AlphaScreen®, AlphaLISA®, and radiometric measurements. TopSeal plate seals have spectral properties that may interfere with other types of assay measurements (absorbance assays, colorimetric assays, fluorescence assays). For these types of assays, you should compare the plate measurement with and without a TopSeal plate seal to test for interference. BackSeal plate seals are plate seals that are applied to the bottom of the plate. BackSeal plate seals can be used to seal the bottom of a filter plate prior to the addition of scintillation cocktail, preventing leakage. BackSeal plate seals can also be used to change a clear-bottom plate into a white- or black-bottom plate in order to reduce cross-talk during top-reading measurements.
