Manufactured for whole-plate CCD imaging and laser detection applications, Krystal glass bottom plates consist of a polystyrene upper part and a clear borosilicate glass sheet fixed to the base with a proprietary adhesive. This process results in consistent flatness of the base and gives improved light transmission whilst maintaining a flat optical plane for growing cells. The nominal cut-off wavelength of 335nm allows most fluorescence assays to be excited or read through the glass bottom. All plates are supplied lidded. ? 175?m glass thickness ? +/- 15?m flatness across base ? 335nm UV optical cut-off ? Industry-standard well layout ? Very low autofluorescence ?
