Description
The 96-well half-area microplate is a transparent polystyrene (PS) plate with a MICROLON medium-binding surface and 96 sample positions for microtiter (MTP) and microtest applications. Half-area wells sit in the usual 96-well footprint, giving a compact well geometry for work that specifies this format rather than a full-area plate. The transparent polystyrene body makes well contents visible during pipetting, incubation and plate reading. MICROLON medium binding denotes the surface of this article; select it when the protocol names a transparent medium-binding half-area plate. Packs contain 10 plates. This microplate is from manufacturer Greiner Bio-One and is of German origin. Clear 96-well polystyrene plates are everyday MTP consumables in analytical and life-science laboratories, used on both manual benches and automated liquid-handling or reader systems. Specify this item when the method requires a transparent, half-area, 96-well PS microplate with MICROLON medium binding. The 10-piece pack supports repeated runs with a consistent plate type across a working series. Material and colour remain polystyrene and transparent throughout the pack.

Questions about The 96-well half-area microplate
What is this article?
The 96-well half-area microplate is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Greiner Bio-One for laboratory use. It sits in Microplates, inside Microplates, PCR & reaction tubes, in Lab consumables.
A microplate is an array of wells, commonly 96 or 384, in clear, black or white plastic. Clear is for absorbance. Black is for fluorescence. The well shape, flat or round bottom, and whether the plate is sterile and treated for cells, are the specification. Not every 96-well plate fits every reader.
A microplate is an array of wells so the same step can be done many times. A deep-well plate holds more volume. A PCR plate or a strip of tubes is thin-walled so the temperature of a cycler reaches the liquid quickly. A seal keeps the well from evaporating. The well number, the working volume and whether the plate is skirted for a robot are the choices. Diagnostic test systems are listed under ISO in vitro diagnostic systems. Methods are on PubMed.
