Microplates enable higher quality results in high content screening

CellCarrier Ultra 384-well microplates are designed for high content screening (HCS). With an improved plate design, the result is higher quality image data and more robust results from HCS applications (such as phenotypic screening and three-dimensional disease model studies). This combination of capabilities provides researchers with the ability to obtain greater insights into disease and can help accelerate the discovery of new and more effective treatments. The plates are black and precisely engineered to have an extremely flat surface for efficient imaging. They are made using cyclic olefin, a plastic that has glass-like optical properties, to provide a clearer image. PerkinElmer
