Glass bottom microplates
- improve cell imaging assays

 

Matrical 96, 384 and 1536-well microplates

 

 

·  Applications include laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and Nephelometry.

·  Ideal for cell-based assays using scanning and confocal imagers including MGB101 (384-well) and MGB111 (1536-well) offer 20-120 and 1-12µl working volumes. Both have flat bottoms and 'rounded' square microwells to eliminate liquid wicking.

·  MGB102 (40µl, 10.4mm height) offers low volume plate options designed to reduce tissue culture demands by 90% compared to standard volume microplates.

·  Unmatched flatness tolerances - individual window flatness better than 2 microns over a 0.75mm square field of view, frame flatness better than 150 microns.

·  Bottom surface options: 0.72 or 0.17mm glass and clear quartz.

·  Clear or black lids; and special surface treatments including poly D-lysine, fibronectin, collagen and more are available.

Advantages of glass bottom plates

Matrical logo


In two-photon work, the excitation energy is sufficiently intense at the coverslip-buffer interface (where the cells grow) that microbubbles are formed in a plastic bottom.  Glass bottom plates are also scratch resistant. These have an obvious negative impact on the image quality.
