What is the purpose of a 24 well plate in chemistry?

AcroPrep 24-well filter plates with Omega membrane can be used for ultrafiltration applications including desalting, diafiltration, concentration or fractionation of protein and nucleic acid samples.

What is the function of microtiter plate?

Microtiter plates are most frequently used for screenings and cultivation of large sample amounts. In order to perform an immunoassay (e. g. ELISA = Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay) the bottoms of microtiter plate wells are coated with antibodies to detect specific substances within samples.

Why do we use 96 well plates?

It also maintains a 2:3 matrix on the plates, which allows to easily run your samples in duplicate or triplicates. So if you scale up from 96 to 384 you have the same ratio which is easier to work with when you look at it and arrange your wells. 96 is probably the one that was used the most so it’s now the popular one.

What are 96 well plates made of?

polystyrene
the 96-Well Plates are manufactured in pure polystyrene with low fluorescence.

What is the plate reader used for in the lab?

A microplate reader is a laboratory instrument that is used to measure chemical, biological or physical reactions, properties and analytes within the well of a microplate. A microplate consists of small wells in which separated reactions take place.

What is hot plate chemistry?

Hot plates are frequently used in the laboratory to perform chemical reactions, to heat samples, and for numerous other activities. Hot plates are conceptually simple – a flat surface with heating elements. They do not produce open flames and are well suited for oil or sand bath use.

Why do we use 96-well plates?

What does an ELISA plate reader do?

An ELISA reader measures and quantitates the color differences in the 12 wells of the plate. ELISA readers or micro plate readers do spectrophotometry; they emit light at one wave length, and measure the amount of light absorbed and reflected by an object such as a protein.
