- General microbiology and bioassay applications in 96-well format
Material & Chemical Resistance
Polystyrene provides optical clarity well suited to absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence readings through the flat bottom. It offers good compatibility with aqueous samples, standard biological buffers, and cell culture media. As with all PS labware, avoid acetone, alcohols above 70%, and aromatic or chlorinated solvents, which can craze or dissolve the material; polystyrene is not autoclavable and should not be dry-heat sterilized.
Quality & Procurement
Made in USA, Caplugs® Evergreen microplates are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management from BPA-free, phthalate-free, latex-free resin. The TC surface treatment promotes cell attachment for adherent culture applications. LabSupplies.com is an authorized dealer and ships from USA inventory, with volume pricing available for high-throughput and institutional laboratories.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does TC treated mean, and do I need it for my application?
Tissue culture (TC) treatment modifies the polystyrene surface — typically through a corona discharge or chemical process — to increase hydrophilicity and promote cell attachment. It is recommended for adherent cell culture; suspension cell work or non-cell assays may not require it.
Are these microplates compatible with standard plate readers?
The flat-bottom well geometry is the standard format for absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence measurements on most microplate readers; however, compatibility with any specific instrument should always be confirmed against that instrument's plate acceptance specifications.
How are these microplates packaged, and can sterility be maintained until use?
Each microplate is individually packed with its lid and supplied sterile. Individual packaging helps preserve sterility between uses and makes it straightforward to open only what is needed for a given experiment.
