What is the advantage of a µClear plate over a standard polystyrene plate?
The µClear® microplates are clear bottom microplates with a thin polystyrene film bottom (190 µm +/- 20 µm for a 96 and 384 well formats and 75 µm +/- 10 µm for the 1536 well format).
Commonly µClear® microplates are used in cell based assays as they allow the microscopic monitoring of the cell growth. Additionally µlear® microplates have increased sensitivity down to 340 nm due to a reduction in background in transmission measurements.
