Description |
| Non-binding Surfaces |
Non-binding surfaces from Greiner® Bio-One are characterized by their low binding capacity for biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, peptides and proteins. The repellent
property of the non-binding surfaces for biomolecules can be advantageous in biochemical assays by increasing the sensitivity, reducing the background and improving the signal-to-noise ratio.
Achieved through a chemical modification of the resin rather than a resin mixture with potential to leach, the non-binding surface from Greiner Bio-One is stable under common assay conditions and does not degrade during short-term storage. |
| MICROLON® 200 |
MICROLON® microplates are clear microplates for transmission measurements. MICROLON® 200 microplates are medium binding (med. binding) polystyrene surfaces. The polystyrene surface of a medium binding microplate is more hydrophobic than the surface of a high binding microplate, and therefore tends to be more suitable for non-polar proteins and peptides. |
| FLUOTRAC™ 200 |
FLUOTRAC™ microplates are black microplates for fluorescence measurements. FLUOTRAC® 200 microplates are medium binding (med. binding) polystyrene surfaces. The polystyrene surface of a medium binding microplate is more hydrophobic than the surface of a high binding microplate, and therefore tends to be more suitable for non-polar proteins and peptides. |
| LUMITRAC™ 200 |
LUMITRAC™ are white microplates for luminescence measurements. LUMITRAC™ 200 microplates are medium binding (med. binding) polystyrene surfaces. The polystyrene surface of a medium binding microplate is more hydrophobic than the surface of a high binding microplate, and therefore tends to be more suitable for non-polar proteins and peptides. |
| MICROLON® 600 |
MICROLON® microplates are clear microplates for transmission measurements. MICROLON® 600 microplates are high binding polystyrene surfaces that have been specifically treated to provide an increased protein binding. In general, high binding microplates are recommended for ELISAs. |
| FLUOTRAC™ 600 |
FLUOTRAC™ microplates are black microplates for fluorescence measurements. FLUOTRAC® 600 microplates are high binding polystyrene surfaces that have been specifically treated to provide an increased protein binding. In general, high binding microplates are recommended for ELISAs. |
| LUMITRAC™ 600 |
LUMITRAC™ are white microplates for luminescence measurements. LUMITRAC™ 600 microplates are high binding polystyrene surfaces that have been specifically treated to provide an increased protein binding. In general, high binding microplates are recommended for ELISAs. |
| CELLSTAR® / TC |
The polystyrene surface of an untreated microplate is hydrophobic and does not offer adherent cell lines a surface conducive to growth. Cell culture microplates from the CELLSTAR® range are specifically treated. This treatment leads to polar groups, such as carboxy and hydroxy groups, being incorporated into the plastic surface, making it hydrophilic. This significantly improves the adhesion of cells and the binding of proteins to the plastic surface. CELLSTAR® products are consistently evaluated using different cell lines. |
