The unique Krystal 2000 microplate range from Porvair Sciences has been optimised for luminescence and fluorescence assays.

A patented manufacturing process, using a ‘two-shot’ mould, provides clear, individual wells in an opaque matrix. The special design of the plate totally eliminates the well-to-well optical crosstalk inherent with other clear bottomed microplate designs, giving unmatched accuracy, sensitivity and repeatability of photometric readings. Very high signal-to-noise ratio and low detection limits can be achieved with this superb plate. All tissue-culture treated plates are supplied lidded and sterile, in individual bags.

Constructed in ultra-pure grade polystyrene, the opaque white 96-well Krystal 2000 plate maximises reflectivity enabling even weakly emitting luminescence assays to be routinely undertaken. Designed for luminescence applications that require the highest levels of photometric accuracy and repeatability the Krystal 2000 white microplate (well volume - 350 microlitres) incorporates a unique clear cup design that eliminates the performance-limiting well-to-well light crosstalk inherent ...
