Precision engineered
Krystal
TM glass bottom plates from Porvair Sciences are manufactured using a
polystyrene upper and a borosilicate glass sheet fixed to the base with a
biocompatible adhesive. This proprietary process results in consistent
flatness (+/- 15 microns) across the base, excellent light transmission and a
flat optical plane for growing cells.
Available in a choice of 24-, 96- and 384-well formats - Krystal glass bottom
plates combine the advantageous optical properties of glass, low background and
low birefringence, with the versatility of a microplate. Krystal glass
bottom plates are proven to demonstrate higher performance than standard
polystyrene plates for fluorescence assays, luminescence detection,
scintillation counting and high-resolution microscopy using confocal imaging.
The complete range of glass bottom microplates is available sterilised for
tissue culture to optimise cell growth or non-sterile for assay development.
The high clarity bottom of each plate in the range offers the advantage of easy
and exact positioning when used in combination with microscopes. Based upon a
standard SBS / ANSI microplate format - Krystal glass bottom plates are fully
compatible with automated liquid handling and robotic devices. All plates are
supplied lidded.
