Greiner Bio-One, a
leading international technology partner for the diagnostic and pharmaceutical
industry, presents "SCREENSTAR" - a new 1536 well microplate designed for high-content
and high-throughput screening.
Greiner Bio-One and automation supplier GNF Systems, San
Diego, USA, co-developed the new 1536 well microplate for screening active
pharmaceutical compounds and other agents. It is particularly suited to microscopic
applications with high screening throughput requirements, e.g. high-content
screening.
Manufactured entirely of cycloolefin, the microplate
features a black pigmented frame to reduce cross-talk of light signals in
fluorescence measurements and a 190 micrometer ultraclear film bottom, ideal
for instrument optics and microscopy.
With a refractive index similar to glass, the transparent
cycloolefin well bottom combines the highest optical transparency with reduced
autofluorescence, particularly in the lower UV range. Moreover, thanks to the
distance of just 0.7 mm between the edge of the microplate and the film bottom,
all wells can be examined easily, even with high-magnification objectives.
The 1536 well SCREENSTAR microplate also benefits from
Greiner Bio-One's tried-and-tested CELLSTAR cell culture quality, thus
optimising the product for cell-based assay systems, too.
The smooth microplate top absent of alphanumeric coding also
facilitates use of the flush lid system developed for microplates by GNF.
SCREENSTAR is thus an ideal screening plate for the GNF ultra-high throughput
screening system.
