Description
The Corning 3985 Microplate is a specialized 384-well plate designed for high-throughput cell-based assays and other applications that benefit from a reduced well volume and a high-density format. The microplate is constructed from black polystyrene, a material chosen to minimize background fluorescence and light scatter, which significantly enhances the signal-to-noise ratio in fluorescence and luminescence-based assays.
A key feature of this plate is its 0.9mm flat bottom, which is thinner than standard plate bottoms and is ideal for high-resolution microscopy and other optical measurements. The reduced thickness ensures a more uniform light path and allows for clearer visualization of cells. The plate is also tissue culture (TC) treated, a surface modification that promotes optimal cell adhesion and growth for adherent cell lines. The inclusion of a lid provides a crucial barrier, helping to maintain a sterile environment within the wells, minimize evaporation, and reduce the risk of contamination during incubation or storage.
The Corning 3985 Microplate is a valuable tool for researchers and scientists in fields such as drug discovery, genomics, and cell biology, offering a high-density, optically optimized, and sterile platform for cultivating cells and conducting sensitive assays.
