The function of Microplates
Microplates, as laboratory consumables, come in various specifications. Common ones include 96-well, 384-well, 1536-well, etc., suitable for experiments of different scales. Usually made of high-quality polystyrene, this material has good optical transparency and biocompatibility, and is suitable for spectral determination and cell culture. For special requirements, there are also microplates made of polypropylene or other materials. To adapt to different experimental applications, such as cell adhesion and protein binding, the surface of microplates may undergo special physical or chemical treatments. In addition, microplates can be used in combination with various types of sealing films or LIDS to prevent liquid evaporation, leakage and external contamination.
