HTS-/Microplates

Can TC treated plates be used for EIA?
It is not recommended to use cell culture treated plates (TC treated microplates / Cellstar microplates) in ELISAs. The cell culture treatment (TC treatment) of polystyrene creates highly charged surfaces with high affinity to all kind of polar proteins. Therefore the non specific background in the cell culture treated microplates is hard to control. Additionally, the ability of our immunological products (Microlon) to bind proteins consistently and reproducibly is constantly checked in our quality assurance laboratory by means of ELISA.
