Corning Microplate 96 Well Flat Bottom Sealed 50 Plates

Description

Corning 9018 96-Well Clear Flat Bottom High Binding Microplate

The Corning 9018 (EIA/RIA Plate) is a premium laboratory consumable specifically engineered for high-performance Immunoassays, including ELISA and RIA. Manufactured from crystal-grade virgin polystyrene, this plate features a specialized “High Binding” surface treatment that significantly increases the binding capacity of proteins and other biomolecules (typically 400 to 500 ng IgG/cm²). The flat-bottom well geometry and exceptional optical clarity ensure superior signal-to-noise ratios and consistent light transmission, making it the gold standard for diagnostic research, antibody titration, and protein-protein interaction studies.

Technical Performance and Design

• High Binding Surface Chemistry: The polystyrene surface is modified to enhance the adsorption of molecules with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions, ideal for coating with antibodies or antigens in solid-phase assays.

• Exceptional Optical Clarity: Produced to rigorous tolerances to ensure a clear, distortion-free optical path, facilitating high-accuracy readings in top-reading and bottom-reading plate readers.

• Precision Flat Bottom: The uniform flat-bottom design ensures a consistent path length for colorimetric measurements and provides a stable surface for automated plate washers and dispensers.

• Standardized ANSI/SLAS Footprint: Fully compatible with all automated liquid handling systems, robotic stackers, and plate readers, ensuring seamless integration into high-throughput screening workflows.
