Due to their excellent optical, chemical, and physical properties, cycloolefin microplates have become increasingly popular in research and high-throughput screening.

• Solid bottom design
• Tapered wells reduce dead volume
• Low water absorption
• Highly transparent
• Resistant to polar solvents

One field of application is the use of cycloolefin microplates for compound storage

To make the latest technical and design innovations available for high-throughput screening, Greiner Bio-One is introducing a new 1536 well cycloolefin microplate for compound storage, liquid handling and transmission measurements in biochemical assays. The new 1536 well microplate follows the most relevant ANSI recommendations and features a smooth microplate top absent of alphanumeric coding to facilitate flush lid mounting for use within the GNF ultra-high-throughput screening system. The wells are more tapered than in classic 1536 well microplates, reducing the dead volume in different liquid handling applications.

Cycloolefins demonstrate low water absorption, low impurities, are highly transparent and resistant to polar solvents, especially DMSO.
