Round well design with a clear flat bottom 2.8mm distance between well bottoms to plate bottom 50 µL total well volume, with recommended working volume of 5-40 µL High base plate design is compatible with automation and for bar coding Validated by Molecular Devices for the FLIPR reader. Outer wells aligned for proper viewing with FLIPR Surface treated for enhanced cell attachment Ideal for miniaturized 384 well fluorescent cell-based assays

Corning® Thermowell™ 96 well polycarbonate PCR microplates fit the most commonly used thermal cyclers For oil-free operation, plates must be used with sealing tape or a sealing mat and used in conjunction with thermal cyclers that have heated lids

These natural polypropylene 96 well PCR microplates feature a rigid construction that is ideal for automation Uniform wall thinness assures efficient heat transfer while minimizing well-to-well variability 100% tested for well integrity and certified DNase- and RNase-free Plates can be cut into 3 x 8 well strips for lower throughput applications. PCR plate adapter (Cat. No. 6499) enables the use of the 96 well plates with the ABI PRISM® 3700 DNA Analyzer For oil-free sealing, use catalog numbers 6570, 6555, 6556 or 6524 Nonsterile, without lids

(This is the suggested replacement for 3735) These 384 well PCR microplates feature a rigid construction that is ideal for automation Uniform wall thinness assures efficient heat transfer while minimizing well-to-well variability 100% tested for well integrity and certified DNase- and RNase-free Nonsterile, without lids
