Corning® microplates are available in different materials: ► Clear polystyrene microplates are used for cell culture and colorimetric (absorbance) assays. ► Black and white polystyrene microplates can be used for fluorescent and luminescent assays. Solid black polystyrene microplates are designed to reduce well-to-well crosstalk and back- ground for fluorescent assays. Solid white polystyrene plates are designed to reduce well-to-well crosstalk, enhance luminescent signals and reduce background for luminescent assays. Both black and white microplates are available with clear bottoms for use...

M I C R O P L AT E S Corning® CellBIND® Surface is a Corning proprietary treatment which provides improved consistency and even cell attachment. Q Tissue culture treated (TC-Treated) surface is used for the attachment and growth of anchorage-dependent cells. Q Ultra-Low Attachment Surface has a covalently bonded hydrogel designed to minimize cell attachment, protein absorption, enzyme activation and cellular activation. This surface is noncytotoxic, biologically inert and nondegradable. Q Poly-D-lysine coated surface can improve attachment of difficult-to-attach cells. Q Sulfhydryl...
