What is a 96 plate?

96-well plates are designed for High Throughput Screening (HTS), sample storage, cell culture, and DNA extraction involving a large sample size. This product has strong durability, with high temperature and chemical resistance.

Can microplates be reused?

According to the company, the new plates pay for themselves after approximately 5-8 uses, and can be reused many times more.

What are 96 well plates used for?

Transparent 96-Well Plates are more widely used, while Black 96-Well Plates are used when there is a specific need to minimize background in fluorescence reading. On the contrary, White 96-Well Plates are used to give maximum reflection and to minimize autofluorescence and autoluminescence.

What is a 96 well?

96-well microplates are used for antibiotic screens, cell-based assays and screening compounds. The flat bottom shape is ideal for microscopic and optical measurements. Our plates are high quality for consistent and reliable results.

How do you Sterilise a 96 well plate?

1 – Throw the liquid culture from the plate in a bucket and add bleach to it. After 30min, throw the liquid in the sink and clean the bucket and the sink. 2 – Place the plate in a bucket and add bleach mix to water to completely fill the plate. Wait 30min for complete decontamination of the plate.

How do you sterilize microplates?

Sterilization Methods for Microplates

  1. Gamma irradiation – typical 15-40kGy (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1994)
  2. E-beam irradiation – typical 15-40kGy (ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1994)
  3. High pressure steam (autoclave) – 121°C (250°F), 20min, 15psi (1.03 bar); longer time frames permit lower temperatures and pressures (ISO 17665-1:2006)
